I cast a lonely shadow but that's alright

My shoulder cramping through the darkest night

I've been slowly gathering my armaments

To be a force withstanding all the harm I sense

Seems the only way to beat it

Is to see it through

And the only way to heal it

Is to feed the bruise

And the only way to freedom

Is jumping through the hoop

I don't jump so good

Don't jump so good

No more living in la-la town

Where the only person happy is yet to be found

No more passing/pissing my heart around

What about me?

Sanctuary

I spent a long time screaming with both fists clenched

I'll spend a long time dealing with the consequence

I spent a long time hearing words that made no sense

I learnt a lot whilst steering through the bitterness

The only words worth eating

Have no crumb of truth

Only voice worth believing

Is the one in you

And the only fucking easy path

Does not bear fruit

I don't bear fools

Do not bear fools

I keep peering behind me

I fear I’m unwinding

The state of my mind is frightening

My thoughts undermine me

My mistakes mount up

But they don’t define me
