Message from the Other Side

In that violent manner, I did abscond

Yes, I understand that you think what I did was wrong

But hear now the misery that prompted this act to quench

Go ahead in your hubris steeped in ignorance

I say claim in anger, absolution that I was sick in selfish

Trivialize my pain to subdue your anguish

But know, as I did mine

As I did mine

As I did mine

As I did mine

So hear this message from the other side

The retort that I was too shy to write

Liberated from those chains that you call life

Burden extricated with my

Vapid, you find expiration the tragedy

But daily, it walks and talks all those things that you refuse to see

Hampered by your visions of grandeur

You made a spectacle I would not endure

Over and over, I sat transfixed on an easy exit

Concerned for your psyche, I held a desire to fetter the wreckage

This care that I

Could not find

This care that I

Could not find

So hear this message from the other side

The perspective now warranted to write

Liberated from the pain of my life

Burden snuffed with my

Go on, tell me something that I've heard before

Go on, parrot something that you've heard before

Fuck your propriety and you

These ideas, they're not yours

And I surrendered all I knew

I couldn't take it anymore

Guess you'll have to find closure in this addendum

Which I sign with resentment
