Convalescence beckoning To think of repose feels sickening Identified by existential dread Sacrifice as a virtue, instilled yet unsaid Circumventing surrender, ascend Rip the covers from off of this deathbed Broken cycles pave ways to restitution To blossom is revolution Out of ruptures gush doubt Indecisive and shut down Will they ever know what they've done? Do they ever think of it? Musings and reveries Drowned in shame Tell me, who's to blame? Tell me who to blame Remedied by anomalies A warmth so hallowed, a rarity Connections so sacred to serve as Reminders of mercy and irony The spirit has always willed But the flesh is traumatized I have myself to answer for The repetition strikes a chord I've felt this all before The repetition strikes a chord Transfixed, held captive, i submit Will this allow the haze to lift? I'll never speak again, and nothing makes sense And i, can't seem to take it Refusing comfort in chokeholds Violent conflicts tear apart the psyche Tell me what to do, tell me what i've done Tell me how far i've come
