Surrendering

I'm bleeding

Six feet down, I'm breathing dirt

Take these hands

I can't trust them

And no drink exists to numb this hurt

Blinded to reason...denial

Imprison me

Under lock and key

Though blind I see

Bring clarity

Broken hope

A failure

Ghosts begin to speak again

They know my name

"Come here -

Stand or kneel, it's all the same"

Blinded to reason...reprisal

Disappear

Alleviate

Symptoms of humanity fade

I cannot face this day

Is this my fate?

Begin the end

Weaving in an out of this haze

Buried beneath my ways

Toll is paid

My noose hands high

Hangman waiting for his prize

Delivered willingly

If this could change

If I could reinvent

If I could light a path between

To burn and begin again
