Impatient Zero (Edit)

I have laid down with the angels and the sirens too Never thought I’d pick up a devil Got quite a few I tried to shake them but they found me with their relentless pace And the blades grew with the darkness over my lightless days I remember the fall I remember the fear Ever deeper the hole year after year All the words to find whatever’s nice to hear I remember the truth fallen to a stone ear Would a friend try and justify my walk on the ice to die By insisting on a lie Such ignorance with arrogance In shadows the knives dance Stealthy poison leaves no chance I remember the fall I remember the fear Ever deeper the hole year after year All the words to find whatever’s nice to hear I remember the truth fallen to a stone ear I never believed that I’d just walk and be free I’m held by the memory when I was seen as me My back’s been holed with wounds, take a look and nothing shows It’s just the knives of the old The void I gasp my breath from chokes my heart again Let it go still Let it go cold I got left on the path of anger In circles left my mind I’d seen too much and my wisdom left me Left me raging blind I remember the fall I remember the fear Ever deeper the hole year after year All the words to find whatever’s nice to hear I remember the truth fallen to a stone ear
