And when the last fruit has spoilt

I will lay with naked grief and sober flame

Alone among the stars, I’ll hang and burn

Under godless moon, I will immolate

A flaming effigy to self destruction

A monument to fuck you too

The wretched roots take hold in pure defeat

As filthy noose pulls taut and true

Branches creak and the flesh does scream

Of every wrong I’ve been put through

Through bone and ash, I’ll come true

A flaming effigy to self destruction

A monument to fuck you too

An apologetic gesture of unweighted sorrow

A futile prayer I can’t undo

Affirmations smoulder in the light

Embers of indecision glow inside

Through collapsing hopes, internalised

Feeling every motion, dead inside

Unwritten words I’ve yet to pen

From aching hands that long for an end

These earthen bonds were bound to break

By setting light to moulding chapters of pure love and hate

I lost myself some time ago

Unsure I’ll ever make it home
