The Tree Always Wins
See the eye growing from the madness of truth
Wacth the story unfold from the depths of
Hell
In the middle of the eye of the raging storm.
"SLAM!"
Goes the door, creaking off those old hinges.
Trying to pace away the truth,
Running, wishing, comes together
Can't think straight, letting things break inside.
Mile high barriers shattering like glass,
Giving up to the pressure of a shotgun shell,
Losing to the rage, the animal inside.
Racing up the green grass hill
Wanting a target for the frustaration, have found the Mark.
"One. Two. Three." quick hits to the sappy brown bark.
Knuckles start to rip open and
Ooze our red blood,
The Tree Always Wins,
But so lost in the animal, nothing matters
But using the adrenaline rush for
Something powerful and physical.
rying out in to the black night,
Letting out the emotional hold the
Revealed Truth and Lies have given.
Wanting for more release,
Want this aggression gone
Like nothing else before,
"SMASH!"
Goes the already scratched up knuckles in to another solid object,
A Giant Rock,
Giant Rock feels no pain
Has no man-made dent
About the size of a raging fist imprinted in its unbroken surface.
The Giant Rock Always Wins
Well, my friend
Starting to wish the truth had not been said,
See the bandages on the left hand and the cast fitted for the right
Know what has been done,
Gone and tried to break something that can not be broken,
No matter how easy it seems when you are drugged up
Seeing the color of revenge, red.
Knowing what remians, tonight there will be
Another episode
Can only imagine what else will become broken
After the fight that human flesh can never win.
Deadly quiet,
No scurrying of pests in the mildew soaked grass.
No one whispering in the dead of the night.
Nothing.
Until a beasyly roar escapes in to the black of the night.
The roar screams in to the black void, yelling, "
Why does the
Tree Always Win!"
