Heirloom

I belong blinded in a mask that will shut me up
But don't refute my generous self order to gag
As my personal struggle belongs with my intent
TO speak on my behalf with a bladed tongue cutting you in half

I saved you
I spared you
I maimed you
I changed you

There's an heirloom hanging around
Like an old soul that's watching me
I knew you weren't going nowhere fast
You're too different they said in fact, heirloom

You will forget more than I will ever know

Breathe
Life has always challenged me
Breathe
Like a precious artifact
Breathe
Life has always challenged me
Breathe
Like a precious artifact hanging from a burning tree
Here I stand as an heirloom
From a burning tree I hang
Battered, beloved, burning heirloom
Watch me age, engage, consume

They stole you
They overtook you
They killed you
They remade you

Now looking back
There was writing on the wall
Our lives mimicked tower falls
Burning bastards falling faster
Save what you can that will make your grave a happy home
Save what you can that will make your piece of mind live on,
End on, and gone
They've caught us now

Our time has come to be the one that stalls

Just breathe alone
I'm hanging
I'm burning
I'm falling much faster
Just breathe
