Fallen

[The Hope Conspiracy]

The threat of innocence

slashed ear to ear

all too much to take year after year

the mark of failure

a song in passing

a likeness within gray matter

suppress the tears for too long

and become a timebomb

this is the bed I make

this is the pain you gave

the threat of innonence slashed ear to ear

all too much to take year after year

an author to a tragedy

writing in the pages of my misery

a victim in the dirt

never forgetting these exit wounds

no spark in these eyes

and all but a memory

a portrait in mind and heart

every waking moment

with their knife to my throat
