Shameful Metaphors

Fear
Its all the same
Should I evolve
To tend to these sights
Said out loud then said again
If fates so wrong
You start to feel lightheaded
By my admission, nothing grows
Just a longer list of unsorted laws

So why then
Has my life made no sound
And your eyes
Closing even now

My life made no sound
I fear your eyes closing

Revolting man
This sacred chain
Brought down to trial
No better man could fail the way
You needed all
Keep close the vein of memory
Thoughts
The finest river,
The ravens tends
All along insisting
Were worlds away
So why then
Has my life made no sound
And your eyes
Closing even now
My life made no sound
I fear your eyes closing
Behold the lost
Behold the Band-Aid
Behold the lost
Behold the Band-Aid

These shameful metaphors
Fought it through the teeth These shameful metaphors Fought it through the teeth
Biting at your heels
Fought it cheek to cheek
So why then
Has my life made no sound

And your eyes
Closing even now
My life made no sound
I fear your eyes closing
