"Neutrality is taking the enemy's side."
|
||
|
|
But when someone quotes that, they usually
|
||
|
|
intend for you to comply.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So I dug myself a grave and called it my home,
|
||
|
|
and I forced myself to be content
|
||
|
|
with being with you alone.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And it wasn't until I'd been choking for a while
|
||
|
|
that my vision finally tunneled,
|
||
|
|
only seeing your smile...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your grin, your gunt, your toothless embrace,
|
||
|
|
everything I am, you think
|
||
|
|
is yours to freely take.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And I don't know how,
|
||
|
|
but I found the strength
|
||
|
|
to dig myself out,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and the poison you denied was simply just air
|
||
|
|
never moved to harm me,
|
||
|
|
just sat inert there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"A coward! A coward!" you call from the tomb,
|
||
|
|
but I'd think it more pitiful to continue
|
||
|
|
letting you give me more wounds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So tell me,
|
||
|
|
why should I sacrifice myself
|
||
|
|
for your greed?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Are you anxious, restless, shaken, unsure
|
||
|
|
that the prison you've constructed
|
||
|
|
is truly your cure?
