falling in...
dying-
becoming a part
of this corrupt place
loving
learning
leaving
but never trusting
stabbing, getting
(stabbed)
wearing masks of loyalty
...to no one
(not even myself)
-where the heart is-
my home is now
on the knife
of the fallen angel
of the tired friend
on the edge
of a worn friendship
begging to be restored
but leave it there
i just want to leave
leave my heart behind
i think it's finished anyway
move me from corruption
take me from this wicked place
deliver me from evil
and allow me to become
-myself-
(...again)
let me leave my past behind
that heart is broken
and can't be fixed
take me to a special place
that i can call my own
away from those demoniacs
and into a sacred realm
where i can be reborn
sever ties but one or two
and recreate myself in me
the cord is cut
the lifeline gone
and now i'm free to
be myself
and just who that is
i'm still not sure
but i've got a good idea
i'm coming clean
recuperating
and my heart's in a
brand new place
a pure, untarnished
home
