I start bound to one truth
Everything I write will turn and laugh at me
Adolescent land mines burning behind seek
Out my words, haunt my sleep, stalk the silence
I yearn to reap
If you're longing for a love story
That's the one thing I can't write you
I suppose it's time for me to go
This will only hurt for a minute
So look me in the eye
I didn't want this to begin with
I won't apologize except to say
I'm never sorry; go away.
It's true; you can kill a king
(If you're in his court) but
Where have the assassins gone
Disloyal to this false free compassionate empire
I see the shore spread with bones
Be prepared for the fall of Rome
Your underworld scars
Have written my favorite stories
I'm simply asking for your grievance
Your counterfeit heart reveals abusive history
Please don't deny I tried to warn you.
