Fragments

By Laura Dee

I'll look inside the shattered wreck
The pieces of my broken neck
I'll tear the fabric of the herd
That brought my tears in every word

Until the echoes prove to be
Too much pain or ecstasy
Childish games that I embrace
Making plans I'll just erase

So make it count, this place and time
Take from me what you designed
I'll bend your way until you leave
The broken prophets we believed

Threw my promises all away
Couldn't make my demons stay
It's like I'm staring into the light
The end of lies I thought were right

Could everything just be that fake?
These words were never yours to take
Or was it just my reckoning?
Through hazy days and reasoning

Cmon take my spirit there
Depart a million strands of hair
Longer threads in lucid dreams
Fleeting as the moment seems

Amazingly the feeling leaves
I never thought I would believe
I'm crying out cause hell is real
Yeah, that is really how I feel

Why did I reinstall this stupid prison Wall?
How could I fall into this state of withdrawal?
So tired of burning candles at both ends
Burnt out into ashes of the sins I'll never defend

So call me jaded and compromised
Pull the threads of my grand demise
Or surprise yourself and hold my hand
Maybe one day you'll understand
