Failed attempts at being a better person
End up feeding into all your aversions
Align yourself with good intentions, inventions
Of your mind, your crooked mind
Hold your eyes closed
Be inside
I surmise
It’s all a lie
Stop and stare
Breathe air
Clear your mind
Your crooked mind
I pulled the sword out of my chest
I swore, you’d for-
get every chance you had to make this better
I’ll eat your words before I eat mine for the last time
You failed your last attempt to transcend time
I saw you choking out the sun
Devouring everyone
Because they’re indifferent
And you’re insensitive
You took me for granted
Then I left you stranded
I loved you so
When you’d hold me close
Spit me out
Fill me with doubt
Confine me to chains
Of unfair blame
Pretend to be
Their precious saint
false self-control
For their sake
Assume your guise
Become alive
I saw you choking out the sun
Devouring everyone
Because they’re indifferent
And you’re insensitive
I saw you choking on your lines
Devouring all of mine
Because I’m so different
And you’re so ignorant.
