Self-Pollution
I will shake the mountains
With the silence of season
I will graze the skyline
With the angels and demons
I will scavenge the forests
To become my own dreamer
I will travel my own way
But with true self-believers
I will find only rain
Losing my shelter
I’m playing one more game
Once I remember I felt her
I will not go there again
I will squeeze my soul
Just hold it one more day
Until I crawl out of this hole
I will find only blood
Religious preaching
I even feel the flood
Of your self-hated reaching
I’m walking on alone
So numb that I fall down
I guess I should have known
I am polluted with your sounds
