Rage

I've started breathing the water I stopped drowning a long time ago I think I'm gonna be sick I can't seem to internalize this Longing for distance erased I feel time etching away Back and forth once again Familiar lullabies echo in this dark space Falling on deafened ears Open hearts, bleeding dry This is the tale we weave With our hands intertwined Vicious meaning pours itself into This empty vessel Being is not enough to placate and satiate this gaping maw You can help yourself, there's plenty to go around Where the light doesn't reach It's said that some may flourish and some may fall I know we won't all make it And the pain will certainly weigh us down Why is the path we take, so obtuse, doubling back Twisting into the night Carefully, we mark our way with blood on the leaves Running thin Splattered across the land Like being stretched paper thin Torn by the wind Stitched together in white hot pain Not again, not again, not again, oh god Not again, not again, not again, I can't take this For what it's worth, it's said That some may flourish, and some may fall I know we won't all make it And the pain will certainly weigh us down
