"Look at You"

LOOK AT YOU

Look at you
Look at the shackles
That have held you
For so long
Entwined in your nature
Vines of poison and beauty
Enlighten you
Through the blood
That you shed upon their thorns
Flow through the sky
Buried in the earth
Drowned in the tears
Sorrow and joy
Drink the drink of life
Poured down your throat
Everlasting intoxication
Drips from your eyes
To see the colours
Blend together
In harmony and madness
Laugh at nothing
Charm yourself in everything
Hung around your neck
To carry it always
The light will shine
For you

Look at you
Look at the shackles
That have held you
For so long
Wind blow
Rush passed you
Like arrows in the night
Threaten to pierce your flesh
Unaware of the threat
Your senses have led you to
Rain dilute the blood
That is spilled
Rain wash away
Unwanted rhymes
From the world of the unknowing
Cast a shadow on the days past
Set ablaze
The future before my eyes
Ash, dust, broken glass
Start again
Bleed the soil with life
Move away with the changing tide
Marry into danger
To see how safe you live your life
Carry a torch
To pity those you do care for
Throw your fire
To the beast
Fish don’t swim well in the dirt
Gasp for air
When they need water
Gasp for air
Pray for rain
Pray for flowers in your hair
Let the dust settle
Deep deep deep
In the carpets
You wouldn’t need to clean it
Out of sight
Burden the mind
With paranoid dream
Awake asleep
Cross the road
Do it again from the other side
On fresh land
Grass that does not smell of urine
Feel pity
As if you have never been
On the other side
I have no choice
But to beat you
Until your eyes bleed
If only you could see
Things the right way
Fly like a bird with no legs
No hindrance
Walk with your hands tied
Same thing

Look at you
Look at the shackles
That have held you for so long
Let the ice melt
Free the seas
Flow again through your veins
Gain momentum
Heart races
Mind chases to keep up
Downhill
Run free
Run crazy
Like the beasts that howl
In the night
Take care
Not to lose your mind
