Chimera

Shield your Shield your eyes In blindfolds What's left behind? Your old ways Will never die You caught me by surprise. You were always there I went out in plumes Must have been the glare Eclipsing me in you Branching thru my lungs Swell until I cave That which you young (Never remained) Your mouth is like fireworks Waxing hot and pouring forth I know your mind is pinioned by Chains of reason You made it back by the skin of your teeth Just to leave Nothing takes your place Sympathetic in a way you would assume Tether slipped from space Calculated in the rhythm of your namesake You kept changing shape Antithetic of the person that I knew My world stays the same I'm indulging in the weaponry we used Get back Draw your blade I have waited so long just to be phased Plead your case in the Heart of the fire You can be saved But I wish you would've told me first The second time for what it's worth I know your mind is pinioned by Chains of reason You made it back by the skin of your teeth Just to leave Nothing takes your place Sympathetic in a way you would assume Tether slipped from space Calculated in the rhythm of your namesake You kept changing shape Antithetic of the person that I knew My world stays the same I'm indulging in the weaponry we used But I'm not saying it's alright Every single misstep is magnified
