paper tiger

Attempting to reason, what a waste of time
As far as you’re concerned, I'm doing fine
Tend to stagger from catastrophe to catastrophe
Kept my mouth shut, got the third degree

Magnetic fixations
Disintegration
Of your creation
Is this how you like me?
Confused by reality?
Always at your mercy?
Then it’s how I’ll remain
So well-behaved
Digging two graves
I know we’re the same
The pain is ingrained
Courses through our veins

So we go through cycles
Death grips on survival
Keeping our eyes closed

Shared ruminations
Shared devastations
All lost in translation

Countless vexations
Countless generations
All lost in translation

Wolf in
Sheep’s skin
So easily forgiven
Left with
The fragments
Burnt into ashes
Wolf in
Sheep’s skin
So easily forgiven
Face
The damages
I have no use for bandages

Wolf in
Sheep’s skin
So easily forgiven
Makeshift
Stitches
How inauspicious

Resistant
By inclination
Suffering
Lost in translation
Impoverished
Invaluable
Wordlessly unforgettable

Save your pity
I am playing for keeps
