Wretched Blues

Walking slowly
Distilled blood
Designed to never fail
Sedate and pure
Cold by choice
Stylized pain
I am feeling blue
Lacerated and swallowed down below
I was fearless but now I’m screaming scared
In nothingness
In this emptiness
So I let this void to fill up my heart
Of fire and endless resistance
Where shadows bite like flames
They sing of fire and endless resistance
Where echoes call your name
Medicated and ready
To accept life
As it comes and as it ends
Expectations
And the highest of hopes
You’re supposed to be happy
When everything around us is alive and green
Of fire and endless resistance
Where shadows call your name
Of fire and endless resistance
Where echoes bite like flames
Forevermore
Hollow men on hollow ground
Crushed bones and bruising souls
