Canaries

Canaries By LoLa The afternath of crossing paths The war that waged; our demons’ wrath Our minds intwined in broken trust The dawn of fall; a slave to lust Weapons turn from phaser to stun Countless trials we shouldn't have won savagery done; just chasing a thrill Searchingly seeking a reason to kill Lovedrugs served to turn us cold Injected fates for prayers to hold The light that shines on broken minds Will darkness come to drive us blind? Heading down south to ease my pain Northbound demons; callin my name Take me away from tales of crime Lasting paths where hearts beat in time Scores Of doubt sing loudly inside Kind minds echo subconscious pride We can't define what never dies Our Timeless lives with modern ties The little death of every night You lie awake in spite of sight Lost memories where tears collide Subconscious fears that hide inside Anxiety of posioned sons The crushing weight for Chosen ones No mercy from our Maker's dawn No sanctuary in a song Remarkable, how crass the sounds Sleepless nights, deep underground Lets hurtle straight into the sun The fear released when we are done
