Desertion

 

 

 

 

 

Run away

Run away from the pain

Leave this island of furious heartache

Before you drown in a sea of your own sorrow and tears

See the one tree stand alone in the midst of the island

It bends as it weeps alone

The waves crash on sandy shores with angry passion

Bringing you memories in bottles you wanted to forget

Run away

Walk on the water

You cannot sink when you are lighter than life

Drift away to the endless plains of abyss

Hope to find someone on dock

Instead of sending you back off

Leave the island

Escape the fear and regret

For I didn’t put myself there

They did

They did this to me

They lied to me

They broke their promises

They hit me

They cheated me

They did this to me

All the hurt they sent

I received

And bled it out to the thirsty white sands

They brought me up

To break me down

Piece by piece

And spread my emotions around

Stomping and spitting on every last piece

Sin beats hot and I dry

Laying there helpless and lost

Still bleeding on the sand

From all the new stabs they took

Unbearable thoughts collide

Run away

Leave what they do to me

A constant hurt they press on me

Until I break

I would call myself a fake

Deny my own existence

For the things they did to me

So much I didn’t deserve

I feel the desertion

Run away
