He has taken many lives. This one, however, will be different.

I pick the lock on the door
I find my eyes on the floor
A trickle turns into screams
It's such an interesting dream

Endeavor
to change
cause I'm always
the same
cause I'm never
alone
whatever
I know

Finding all my meaning in the cadence
What good are we at practicing behavior?
Now legally I think we might be safer
if I finally know why we have been savored

And I'm thinking about
my decency
All these people from roofs
on top of me
while I'm writing these lines
to help me see
that there's nothing of mine
but vacancy

Never content to bow my eyes
Falling asleep I should have tried
but never have I consented trade
an amount of respect until it's gained

Never have I to bow my eye
Thinking of things I should have tried
but never would I allow to trade
keeping it real until today

I pull my hands up my sleeves
I feel my pockets for keys
I mark my face with a grin
I start all over again

The snowfall
is brief
It freezes
It sleeps
I'm watching
the coals
They're melting
the snow

Never content to bow my eyes
Falling asleep I should have tried
but never have I consented trade
an amount of respect until it's gained

Never have I to bow my eye
Thinking of things I should have tried
but never would I allow to trade
keeping it real until today
