late entry, early exit

be honest with yourself, and take down any remaining landmines
remember your duty and be the watchmen of your own demise
just got here with huge dept, paid and still paying such a big price
you might be a wizard yes but your robe don't shine when sun rise;

picked through the rubble and shrapnel, your glue holds you true
but don't think it is hardened all the way through
your seems leak with need, it isn't easy to look forward to
your worst is barely standing together, and your best divided into two

wishful thinking but your dreams doesn't grant the power
still ignoring the truth, can you keep it till the end
yet claim enough is enough, i will not bend
please, please next time think a bit more before hitting send

like most of the things, your wisdom seems to work for all but you
no matter how much damage you cause, and damage is what you do

joy

damp sizzle on your nose, building up courage
tiniest smirk on your lips, reminiscent
familiar taste of pain, controllable determination
at least leashes on your hands, self degradation

it is hard, you're climbing your own mountain
steepest steps, build like cobble facades
and all the weight of your past, hanging past your waist
old bones with new voices, bloody hands still seize

but alas, we have to sing, sing to cry
there is no winner at war, how hard you pry
can't promise many, but can swear, this will be my job
forgetting happiness, swimming with joy

like the void left by a great book
or returning home after long travel's took
like missing the limbo after settling in
in sour taste of a memory, we are constantly forgetting

after all, joy can be found where gloom dwells
at the center of all our borders, even where memories turned into mass graves
