Entry
Of all the things I’ve come to be
All the whispers I wanted you to see
A daily entrapment
A gauntlet for me
Moisture in a soulless capture
The doors are closing
Place your grace
Upon the select few chosen
Forget this flesh
The doors are closing
Grant me peace
As my suffering
Will satisfy the chosen
A bitter sweet goodbye
The trust that transpires
Within the heat of a lie
Go on without me
I’ll see you there
I promise, I’ll try
The doors are closing
The select few that are chosen
The doors are closing
Grant me peace
As my suffering
Will make ease
Remember me today
For memories of me tomorrow
Will not be so willing to remain
A stain to never stay
In the mist of fog
And do reach to grasp it
Breathe easily, be calm
As you realize
It was something
Always built of feign
My friend
The doors are closing
Grace
The peace
That everyman has chosen
The doors are closing
