Allies scrape at scars

Instinct internalized

Hard to trust

Hard to cast in a tired forge

The same blood buries both of us

The same blood buries both of us alive

Left alone on an island throne

No bridges left to burn

Nothing to say on judgment day

Silenced from the guilt

The same blood buries both of us

The same blood buries both of us alive

We're not immortal

Nor should we be

We both break at a crushing wave

Sifting out to space

With a reckoning force
