A Rat in Thy Dream

«Sadie's laughing»
My quarry approaches
«I'll make a pact with you»
Leave us behind

Brandish the moment, hide in the open, keeping on focus
And fight like its hopeless
Attempt to finish Christobel. Oh fragments!
Meekly pleading for forgiveness and stacking wishes like dirty dishes.
«What care we how white the minch is?»
Faces bruised and hands in stitches. I went and gave it all I had,
but not enough to bite the hand, still say I’m doing what I can.
Out on my own, some call it a breakdown
On the run from the ones running the show, overly concerned for the grouchy and
bored. Can’t ignore our scars, monsters made not born
Not to say the prayer, not to cast the vote, its not enough to free my throat.
Well the secret is GO, get up and just go crawl out of your hole,
we can still get through this smoke
