Cross Off Hell and Enter Yourself

"CROSS OFF HELL AND ENTER YOURSELF" tackled before the end and your mud has dried up. there are ways around it, find them. failure is every love that made you sleep with the dogs. backing down isn't in your deck. all those nights you turned the lamp on, all those nights you watched the shadows dance outside your window, all those nights you ran your thumb over your blade, gave you the wind of the city. now move, dirt, trees, signs, people, building's, cars, oceans, mountains, skies and worlds. shake the galaxy and let other galaxies know you're there. they tied the rope around your neck and you pulled yourself down. throw your chest to the sun and pull up every submission you've been under. one to one from the chest up, seize your fight.
