Broadsword

Breathe deep Expectant of terminal breath Lay to rest in time Every mistake you've made and everything you try to forget A life of loose ends You're a broadsword Dulled with no flesh to bite Cut me once more Show me some stakes tonight A hollow shell Oxidized armor in rain A once polished cuirass Reflecting a face full of misplaced rage Longing for a war that its world wouldn't see A release that was never to be You're searching to find a reason to fight A reason to die A way out of this stagnant skating by Of these empty good nights Char your skin until you feel something Waste and silicon siphoning You're a broadsword Dulled with no flesh to bite Cut me once more Show me some stakes tonight Break maim rend Every plugged-in low life scum that said that you were not a threat Sever the string to a coward's web While you stay stagnant, they move in for the kill They're writing the walls Put vipers in power while counting on good men to fall You're an obsolete tool if you want to be I've tried giving up It just isn't for me
