Swing Your Kami Sword

Casting illusions of self esteem covered in by cancer-ridden walls.

Tighten your grip until your fingers break, the deep breath before the fall

Call out the words etched on our graves, but ignore the writing on your wall

I want you to watch me watch you fall, and I think you want the same thing too

If you want honesty, they'll take me from my home in the middle of the night

While my children watch in fear, as I'm begging for my life

Out here the gravity is nothing, the price of living on your own

I'll watch you burn down a factory, while I burn out my home alone

Well in my dreams I start laughing at the fact that you've forgotten me

If you want honesty this is all you'll get from me

If you want tragedy this is all you'll get from me, this is it

Actions tell the story from beginning to end

Your vision blurs and the lines they cross

Is it laziness or writer's block?

Patience and procrastination don't seem the same

Until you're on a deadline counting out your failures

In the eyes of the ones you trust

They'll cut you down. They'll chew you up

They'll spit you out. Forget your name and they'll cut you
