Call
By Laura Dee
October 27, 2014
Echoes answer my call to arms
This majesty I couldn't harm
Maybe that's my tragic flaw
I never killed my dated laws
I cannot flex until I break
I'm doomed to repeat my mistakes
Feels so hopeless underground
Desperately escape the sound
Though my laughter may contend
Pass me by my fleeting friends
It gets me through the worst of days
Forgetting what I gave away
I drown it out when I'm alone
Days I won't pick up the phone
I'm stuck in here with all I know
Seems my wheels are just for show
Trapped and alone, this chaos within
It's hard to say where I begin
So leave the lights, I am the night
Please save me from my tainted sight
I pray one day this madness will seem
The faded ghost of a really bad dream
Until that day, I'm numbing the pain
Still figuring out if I'm going insane
I'm not your brother
I'm not your son
So don't call my name
It'll never be the same again
