Death Throes
03:52
|

Beaten down, anesthetized
A spirit desensitized
Hopes and dreams fast fading
Until a sense of waiting
Was all that remained
Yet the “it” never came
Death throes
Less violent than expected
(Was this all I was meant to be?)
Rather meek and pathetic
(Under the surface)
Death throes
Fitful scribbles in darkness
(Was this all I was meant to be?)
Which took years to surface
Despair and loneliness
Bitter taste of distress
The constant longing for
Something so much more
Always an elusive key
Just beyond what I could see
Thought those times
Were just the beginning
But they were
The beginning of the end
Death throes
Not violent
Not a cathartic crescendo
Just a candle slowly burning out
Flickering before it winks out
But death throes nonetheless
This truly is the end…
Or my last chance
To save myself
Death throes

The Flame
03:16
|

Thrown to the wolves
Let them sink or swim
Be tough, be resilient
Only the “strong” will win
If they falter
It wasn’t meant to be
Social Darwinism
Only the “strong” succeed
Learn to shelter in place
Before they learn to read
Forced to cross state lines
To shed their rapist’s seed
Is this how we nurture?
Is this how we lead?
How can this be?
How can they succeed?
When will we see the damage we do
When we ignore the shit we put them through?
What will it take to muster a shout?
Will we kindle these coals before they burn out?
Things won’t get better
Nothing will be all right
Unless we feed it
This flame dies here tonight
Protect the flame
