lyrics
Another morning wrapped in fear. Eyes snap awake to mark the beginning of a familiar end. They always said you had a spark. “Gifts and bounties”. “…Unsurpassed.” Turning every moment into a stroll upon a primrose path. But they never mentioned the icicles surrounding you, licking their chops for a taste. This heart has never pulsed. These eyes have never seen. This mind was ruled condemned. These hands are all that’s left. Tie it up. Throw it out. Stench is punching through your lungs. Move on to the next. Leave this here for dead. Internalize the agony. Pour the foul swill through your bowels. Sever every tie. Clench your iron fists. Salvation is a bad investment. Redemption has an interest rate. Tighten bolts. Sharpen blades. Polish boots. Seal fates. So take pride in your masterpiece, looming over you forever, staring you straight in the face. Poised and ready, once again, for tomorrow morning’s flagellation. Poised and ready once again for the slings an arrows of a brand new day. Start fresh, enslaved.
