Sweeping Out The Ashes

Divorce running through my mind
Homicide in second place
Just a step behind
I want something you can't give me
A child I can call my own
Not a hand-me-down
Not one ashamed to call me Daddy
Yet I knew the score
Before the game commenced
Only I can pardon this life sentence.

You've maliciously taken
What was freely given
My soul in your hands
Yet I'm fatally ignored
Passed over by ignorant minds
Who fear intelligence being mined
So, I'll wire this mouth shut
Until the time is right
Betting on sooner than later....

We're back on life support
Follow your heart
And pull the plug
If we don't survive
There isn't going to be a second chance
No stomach for a third
Dance the watusi out the door
Back to the beaten path you go
The stars have alligned once more.

One day I'm being suffocated
Next, about to be abandoned
Refuse to be raped internally
I didn't have a choice at 13
Still, I'm frozen in time
Lord, I will wave the white flag
Say Goodnight to the martyr
As Insanity runs amuck
Through the asylum
Who has the guts to throw away the key?

Some say I have a chip on my shoulder
But I won't share the love of my life
With parasites bent on swallowing the light
Living for darkness with a thirst for chaos
Inquenchable....

Call me possessive
Or a selfish prick
But the B.S. in this relationship
Is getting too thick
I'm sick of judgements upon this soul
I'm sorry I had to default on the loan
You don't know me without desire
Stones of hatred
Bullets of predjuice
Splitting us apart
As scorn sweeps out our ashes.
