Just Leave

The stage of compassion dies Only room for revenge And nobody seems to mind Holding love next to dagger’s edge But then the world is just a show Though nobody seems to see That the exit will let you go The back door will set us all free This production will never end And so there’s nothing left to say Since everything does depend On the actors taught to betray Speak if you must behold The silence that breaks our bond Since the drama will never hold The audience just won’t respond So kick me out if you must I see through the actions of life And behind all the rot and dust There’s a room full of rusted knives Is this what we must become? These puppets from evil’s whim Where impulse means no more sun And all wisdom is broken in And so I’d rather just leave alone Then sit through deceitful lines Where the actors are empty clones As the managers steal our minds
