Always Too Late

I took another beating

in the silence of men.

They turned & crawled

under meaningless mends.

They're the honourable ones -

you demand I'd honour one?

You got something to say?

Don't hide, say it all the way.

They send me off with a murmur & thunder.

Welcome to the new world order!

You gotta run far, so far.

Such farfetched fools -

what if they never gonna break?

I took another beating

while the seas rose to knees.

These gents they just dropped jaws

and drowned in peace.

They're the honourable ones -

spitting image of Maggie's farm.

You got something to say?

Don't hide, say it all the way.

They send me off with a murmur & thunder.

Welcome to the new world order!

You gotta run far, so far.

Such farfetched fools -

what if they never gonna break?
