Solitary

Bone by bone
Your pain is just a warning
Future turns to history
What's your chosen misery?

No order without chaos
So fearless
So defiant
Under falling skies
I open my eyes

Into the unknown
I walk alone
Solitary
So raw, so pure, so whole

I strip away my pretense
My false necessities
May the burden of resistance
Fall and let me be

Eyes alight
I realize
Nothing, nowhere, nevermore
Will be what it was before

Bleed from your wounds
Taste the fear
Don't let this moment disappear
Solitude is for the brave
And you are

Don't take my hand
Just understand
Nothing is forever
Don't take the blame
Don't live in shame
For being who you are

Backbone
Leave me alone
No chance for revival

On my own
Comfort zone
No more self-denial
Enemy within my soul
Silent be thy choir
I strip myself from your control
Solitary fire

Eyes alight
I realize
Don't have to leave, go anywhere
Just lose myself to reappear
