Collateral Damage
Collateral Damage
Leaving, deceiving and unjust, whom do you trust. Is it a must? To want to be
Alone
Shown the way. Day by day, sun up, night-by-night moon struck, hour-by-hour no time.
Climbing the tower to reach the power.
Shall I remain, shall you remain, ordain. Then you came, taking aim at all that exist.
Did I make the list? Pumping my fist, to the sounds that surround. Moving the crowd, shrouded by the flames of hell, nothing went well. Stale to the touch of another. Matrix filled computation. Running for the door without hesitation. Your emancipation of dreams escapes anticipation, failed on all creation. In wake, of things that have become,
This unforgiving

Choking over the smoke.
Toting away any guilty pleasure
For the treasure is lost.
We all knew the cost, yet we go onward, to nowhere.
Fading into the shadows, of another wasteful surrender of
