Complications

Losing a solo game of chess

I am the mask you wear with regret

Loss of consciousness

And the needle sinks deeper in your chest

 

An elegant house of cards

Rejecting the joker within

Like the black sludge

You inject inside your lungs

 

I am not your escape

I am not your sweet release

I'm the poison in your veins

As you're burning alive, scream my name

 

I am not a proud man that's for sure

I've got nothing left in this world

If I spend my life attoning for sins

Is it possible to be forgiven?

The third stanza is my favorite. <3 I love the thought of the last few verses...never knowing if the good that you bring will out way all the bad. Heavy, I like it.


**if it's an eye for an eye, then we'll all go blind.**
