Paradox
I went off into the night again;
No one forgives me when I have sinned.
I am a paradox
Leading
The blind to believing.
They found me
Screaming
About the paroxysmal feeling.
The voice fell off like a spirit leaving;
The ash
Seeps out of my being.
Tell me something wild you did;
Tell me something you’d never miss,
If you and I weren’t caught up in this.
If I could I would do it all again.
I was wrong to ever assume;
The darkness seduces as it bleeds through,
The stitches, the resurrected wound.
I opened up again and bled;
“Carry on,” is what they said.
I hold the gun against my head.
And call out to no one again tonight,
I was wrong to ever get it right.
“Drown it out,” said the voice inside.
I don’t care anything about being alive.
