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
