Nothing I plant will ever grow again
You poured your salt on the earth
Is this how I ought to die?
Shriveled and alone
A shell of my former self
Or will I crawl out from the dirt?
Covered in the thick earth
Tangled in roots
Rise from the ashes to be judged
I've been watching you for hours to see if you move
The stillness of the moon won't give an inch
The only way to escape your shadow is in the dark
I hope some day you fall
I think I'll fall with you
My back is to the wall
I've changed my mind
I made life uglier
Ripped flesh from bone
You expected more from me
I expected more too
Lock the door behind you
And swallow the key
I hope these windowless walls provide some comfort
I told myself it was for the best
But now the rivers that ran through us have dried
Now I'm gutted before you
Begging you to leave
As if you weren't my own creation
And moving forward should be as easy as walking away
But the path is cyclical
There's no relief in this desert air
The sun on my your shoulders left me burned
Choking on the dust
I beg you for water
And watch you swallow the last drop
I watch you walk away to the sound of the wind
Disappearing in the horizon
And as I watch you leave I feel a part of me was ripped away
The wind sings the remaining sound of what is now a memory
You walked straight to the eye
Swallowed by a mighty hurricane
F*ck
The gate will close on itself
I can hear your scream
Echoing from the mouth of hell
I freed myself from my executioner
This is where it begins
The final blow
The last stand
You've emptied your pockets
You've shown your hand
I wanted nothing more
Than to have spared you
But now you're left bloodied in the dirt
As I walk freely home
My back was to the wall
I changed my mind
I made life uglier
Ripped flesh from bone
You expected more from me
I expected nothing less
Nothing less
