Fiery saturation

Rips the veil in our souls

Pure determination

To obey our farthest calls

Is this path trod?

Can’t promise to be

Prepared, force-fed ambition

Injected in us

Permeate

Scar

Bequeathed in grooves over our skin

There is no reason to shed

the fabric of our making

This is where it’s all been lead

Out the crevasse in my head

There’s no reason to be shed

When it has all been sedated

Forged in elder promises

Out of the crevasse in my head

Unbearable starvation

Can’t come up with decisions

Indomitable creation

Sears my flesh and drains my blood

Is this path trod?

Can’t promise to be

Prepared, force-fed ambition

Injected in us

Permeate

Scar

Bequeathed in grooves over our skin

There is no reason to shed

the fabric of our making

This is where it’s all been lead

Out the crevasse in my head

There’s no reason to be shed

When it has all been sedated

Forged in elder promises

Out of the crevasse in my head
