Become The Blade

You think you have me With one foot in the ground, one on my chest On the path that you stray I cut a straight line Face to face I see you now You've become the reason you protected yourself but worse These mistakes took thirty years to correct Protecting me from what Explain it Cut my teeth on your misery I know its hard but I make it look easy I walk alone It's your fault not a mystery So take your fingers off the scales where my worth is weighed Inflicting pain when you feel the same You try to push it down but guilt remains, cut it off More than a stain it's the same thing that I release with my downswing Become the blade Broken by failure The same thing that destroyed you made me Become the blade Avert your eyes Hide from the light Never see what you've become Die by the sword Dragging behind Never found yourself in life Soak the cloth in lies and wipe away what it felt like Dispositive you say Then push your outcome on me I think you're afraid there was a better way Safety and sanctity nowhere to be found Where's your humanity Casted by gravity Poured in a mold I wasn't built to bear I walk alone To protect my home You should see how they've grown but you'll never know
