Brought up in the land of the free, destiny unwinding For a decade before it's compromise Such a distinct path now corrodes underneath
The blade looked precious in the moonlight I'm sure And the eager look on your face spoke poetically to such a fragile frame We've fallen too far
You sweat with my tears and I've wept for years Your lusting now for blood Or perhaps for salvation (deranged salvation)
Staple my hands to this sheet, now show me your deceit Lay me down and witness my defeat You smother me with intent suffocate me Lay me down
I found ways to represent this toxic recourse I found ways to apprehend this alarming con of innocence Learning, escaping, accepting I found ways to represent this cross-theory.
How depressing to watch everything you have disappear until the only sense of ownership you can exercise is to strip someone of their life. Then again, once this has also been eradicated what else do you have? A loaded gun...and a self-destructive cycle. You won't be missed scum [Inspired by events that took place in Hamilton, Newcastle NSW late 2004].
