clasped hands
excise one another
misled by those memories
fixed in time
time to forget
all that's been said
wading through the lies used to be simple
but here among the princes
i call upon my strength
and i was never afraid to fail
before all this
this time it couldn't mean more
choking
drowning
this cull
it burns
burning all i know
subjugating
this love couldn't heal
have i found the bottom of this?
am i poisoned by each breath that i draw?
i know what brought me here
convince me that it is enough
