The Lost

The barrel is in your mouth
Put that gun away
Breath comes slower now
Awash with all that pain
Her voice keeps whispering
Those things she says
That hold you together
Underneath tear you apart

All the king's words
And
All the king's sentences

Cannot put you to sleep
Playing in your head
Lonely in your bed
Heart beating for those moments
Stops, on the 7th floor, looking down
The snow is falling inside
Peering out the window
Longing for the sun, Freedom

All the king's words
And
All the king's sentences

Say two shadows are better then one
A real man outshines a hollow
But no one returns his shout
Holding that picture tightly
Fades, she is not there
The paper does not smile
Rain washing her away
He screams against his palm

All the king's words
And
All the king's sentences

Laughter in the grave
No sound, no noticing
Look around these ally ways
Ways and ways but no way out
A maze of dissonance
He is bigger, if he was not alone
Say your fingers will be in his
Someday and his death not be in vain

All the king's words
And
All the king's sentences

Arbitrary words of doom
Based on false senses of accomplishments
Duty is her father, or jailer
She is the daughter of despair
He says that he can free her
Please just take his hand
You have said enough of honor
It is only bondage, but he is liberty

All the king's words
And
All the king's sentences

Frown at her pale green eyes
Holding her fear up as a light
To help her hold on
Like some majestic Moses
With venom in his teeth
And if she can let go
Then they will live
Finally to be dropping

All the king's words
And
All the king's sentences

That say they are lost
