Exit Wound

Exit Wound

Ti le, le le nyo

I know nights surrender to dawns

As in hackneyed 'silver lining' songs

Not when grief mauls your heart

Abandons you on the path

To where that faith you lost was.

Be strong, pick your heart up, survive

Lucky, alone, but alive,

Though all those you'd lived for

Stood no chance past that door

Luck sure ain't what it once was.

I'd die to un-dream my reality,

And wake, running free.

I'd kill for unfettered humanity

Murder each sin,

That conspired to break me...

Don't send me all your thoughts and prayers

If they make it, they'll be no use here.

Too late has come too soon

Now I'm just an exit wound

Other side of the truth of what we are...

Vulnerable yet the sum of all fears,

Tolerable as long as no where near

No emergency room

This side of an exit wound

Someday, what we were, will return,

Reclaim us from apathy's concern

Shades of lighter heartache,

Naiveté to awake,

On old battle fields

New blood may assail the old status quo

To wash it away,

A force wielding powers they'll never know,

Pray they prevail,

but if they don't then

Don't send me all your thoughts and prayers

If they make it, they'll be no use here.

Too late has come too soon

Now I'm just an exit wound

Other side of the truth of what we are...

Vulnerable yet the sum of all fears,

Tolerable as long as No where near

No emergency room

This side of an exit wound

Ti le, le le nyo
