...

in thunderous time, they've done it again.

and they all get away like a miracle.

you walk right along, your skin, torn like a song, while they point at blameless thongs.

exactly as you fear, the loveless brute comes to own you once again.

and you stay wordless, life mocks, you repress.

there is power in silence.

but unwrap your fists, your skin, and your bone, after all, they're still yours.
