Shameful Metaphors

Fear

It's all the same

Should I evolve

To tend to these sights

Said out loud then said again

If fate's so wrong

You start to feel lightheaded

By my admission nothing grows

Just a longer list of unsorted laws

So why then

Has my life made no sound

And your eyes

Closing even now

My life made no sound

I fear your eyes closing

Revolting man

This sacred chain

Brought down to trial

No better man could fail the way

You needed all

Keep close the vein of memory

Thoughts

The finest river

The ravens tends

All along insisting

We're worlds away

So why then

Has my life made no sound

And your eyes

Closing even now

My life made no sound

I fear your eyes closing

Behold the lost

Behold the Band-Aid

Behold the lost

Behold the Band-Aid

These shameful metaphors

Fought it through the teeth These shameful metaphors Fought it through the teeth

Biting at your heels

Fought it cheek to cheek

So why then

Has my life made no sound

And your eyes

Closing even now

My life made no sound

I fear your eyes closing
