Break

Yesterday I saw a man with no face Today he is still yet the same “Tomorrow”, he said, was his name He told me of a place where time never moves A place where the world can not find you A better place to call home Need only convince yourself it is not a tomb You can imprison the body You can safeguard the mind But you can not protect the heart From Love beyond all means of comprehension Convinces the soul to let go Everything will be okay They hurt me in ways no one will ever see They twist me in ways no one should ever be They pile on to bury me and never let me Break The orphan child God left at the day care He’ll be back they say, he’ll be back To drop another one off Sift the mud away from the rocks Arrange them categorically One can almost see the empire Desperate self destruction Egocentricity No one else deserves the right or the pleasure Counting the ghosts in your mind How many more today? Such are better than the ones yet living They will never leave you They will never abandon you They will always be here They will never go away
