Inevitable

 

It’s inevitable to die
Hidden cowardice
From the dark angel’s eyes
Look deep into hidden mazes
Trapped within the sea of ages
Curse the lamb
You slide in tune
Feel the grace of this moody doom

I do not always realize what I say
If I insult you don’t be angry
I don’t mean anything by my backwards compliments
Lost in the flow awhile ago
So I can’t complete your tests

Mirrored individuals
Did I see a key?
Mirrored individuals
Somewhere within the dream

I wonder if you speak my name
When I’m too far away
Is there some reason
Should you let me win the game?

Blue serene of Sunday
Aides the images herein
I don’t see the roach
But I hear the scream
Was it me?

It’s inevitable to die
Can’t get lucky every time you survive the night
Barely disguising the portal
As I pretend to be alive

Do I bore you with my look of content?
Do I shame you with my ignorance?
For the words that have been written 
And my own interpretation

Can you hear the breathing?
The whispered lie
Live, love, laugh, cry
Swallow
It’s inevitable to die
Bow down cowardice
Beg
End my life.
