In Commemoration of Our Defeat

Clinger to the stars
Pulled down by gravity
Beneath are sparrows
Squeeze me to become the warrior

Blindfold me with the darkness
Faze me with pretensions
Shower me with Benjamin
Dry me with ignorance

Kill me with your vocabulary
I’ll bury me with thoughts of you
Let me wear your ring
Wear my weary

We let the seed grow
I water it with tears
Your sunlight is paper
We failed

Throw your hopes up
Veils are for dreamers
Love is the grim reaper
Insensitivity is the winner
