Legalise the devil's in the details
Whereupon ambition turns to dust
Once upon a time I had ambitions of my own
For how long before my flesh and bone should rust?
Spin the wheel and watch another sunrise
The attic of my mind required a clean
Silhouettes and shadows waged a war upon the senses
wrote epitaphs for all my hopes and dreams
With all the certainty that I can muster
I'm surrounded by the sleeping and the damned
I tried to wake them up or offer them redemption
but they're too jaded or confused to understand
To all intent and purpose I keep silence
Muffled by a veil of ignorance
Forsaking undertakings to stir up and awaken
I laughed so hard I almost shit my pants
:lulz:
That last line is so solid.
that was pretty good!
I like it. The meter could use some tightening, it sounds a bit weird to me when I read it out loud. But the final stanza is bangin'.
