twisting, fading ever inward. swallow freely, feeling queasy. take it on, a load so full. kill it son, that painful dagger. will i, won't i know the answer? and if revealed, for what the reason? i find myself, an empty maze. carry on my son, so proud. make a difference, with your tongue. liar, liar, flaming fire. burn me now and ever after. a cool unending breeze, i need. come peace, i need to please my soul. a hiding place, a final home. lastly body, heart defined. mind adrift sad melodies. echo deep, and wide, and free. sing to me a song of life. the struggle ends and starts anew. with birth each day like drops of rain. and i feel numb with liberty. is truth so free?
