Dreaming
Screaming
Staring at the walls
Pining for the Angel
When the Demon calls
They both want me
Clawing at my soul
Tearing at the fabric
As if it were theirs to own
Falling
Flailing
Running for the door
Keep your pedestal
I’d rather stand alone
Arid integrity
Sand granules
Across a promise mirage
Unforgivable
Blind faith
Desert sun barrage
Divisive
Deceit
I can see their game
But just because I understand
Doesn't mean I’ll play
Mucking the hand
Chips held in reserve
Time will tell
If we get what we deserve
Rinse and
Repeat
Cleansing of my brain
Laying waste to parasites
Build a better way
Dreaming
Screaming
Pounding on the walls
Don’t believe in Angels
Nor Demons at all
Acquiring principles
Needed to survive
With this hierarchy
Of values I can thrive
I am a man
Born for standing tall
A life defiant
Honest and True
Is worth the price
No matter what detractors do
So gentle – Never
Bring on the night
No doubt whatsoever
I can spare the light
