Chain of Grief

Living life consumed by what’s lost
Is no life that you would want for me
In weakness I wish I could push you aside
But it’s past time I reconcile
That I love your haunting
All over again
Moments remain
Awaken to think this grief is paid in full
But you’re still here
Your loss is a part of me
I won’t follow intrusive thoughts leading
Me back to the darkest days I have ever known
And ever care to feel
Never care to feel
Pain begets pain
Circle the drain
Pain begets pain
Burrow deeper inside
Inside
Cycles of Hell
Overwhelm every time I think of you
Is it blame? Is it shame? I’ll always question
If I made the right choice for you in those final seconds
But that pain won’t define us
Though my throat belongs to your name
All over again
Moments remain
But this grief is never paid in full
Forever just a ghost I won’t let slip through my fingers
Led by the fear we both hide
One day the haunting stops
Yet when the apparition fades
I’ll scream I want it back
Led by the fear we both hide
One day the haunting stops
Yet when the apparition fades
I’ll scream I want you back

Hunters have lost the hunt
The wolves will be slaughtered
Bound and skinned and strung up
Their prey now trained to fight back
So bow down
Respect what you fear
This thin line has exposed all that you are
Every fire burns the strands of power that you stand for
The lies you feed to all you shackle tight
Will taste that much worse when spit back down your throat
I won’t feel a thing for a king that failed me
Blank eyes, dead stare
Not an ounce of compassion we ever shared
No one will miss this barely veiled corruption
So let’s burn this world down
And I’ll feel better
Now it’s high time to accept you lost this fight
Burn this world down
And I’ll be happy
Now it’s high time you knew that you lost this war
This crumbling foundation won’t support a cabal of tyrants
Heed the tides and choose your side
Admit you sold your soul
Absolute power absolutely corrupts
Systemic cancer rains down
Burn this world
Carve out this cancer
Your hands will be severed by those you oppressed

You’re not an elevated being
Beneath the ground is where I’d rather find you
Covered by crops you sought to poison
Comforted by shadows
Wrapped in bigotry so tight
You’re worth nothing to the earth
Just let your ignorance grow
It’ll only give me reasons that I need to bleed you dry and let you rot
This decay inside you
The violence that you incite won’t be your shield
A plague on all we are and will be
You’re not welcome here
I won’t respect a world view you built on fear
Disease will be cut out with force
And I won’t be sorry when there’s nothing left of you
This is a reckoning
Fallen idols won’t save you now
Your blood doesn’t look so pure
A closed mind was never a place to feel safe
Sit back, you brought this on yourself
Find solace in being ripped apart
You won’t have the luxury to wish you were dead
These walls of pride will be your tomb
A better life will grow from your remains
Stay true to this path leading us all to ruin
Vines will grow from the barren ground you’ve worked so hard to kill
Slowly slither up your spine and choke all you know
From a worthless, insignificant source of blight
A pillar of salt wouldn’t be enough of a warning
Just crack a smile and cover your eyes as your own ignorance buries you
