The Sacrifice
Livin for the will to die
To fight for the night
Dying for the midnight sky
I slept in the light
Never wanting to live
Cut through my broken skin
Never wanted to give
Burning seas of eyes again
Stepping into the pyre
Falling deep in denial
Hung my neck on a wire
Lost myself for a while
They’re shattered and worn
These finger tips of mine
In weathering the storm
My sunshine undefined
Dying for the will to live
Defending order of the light
Giving all I have to give
Sleeping in the winter night
