Chrysalis

And on the furthest day when you lay down

Discard your disarray and your rusted crown

And face the wretched image of you and I

No trust in what you say, you are a dead poison seed

Stronger when you are away, you have nothing that I need

The rhyme has settled in the ghost of a sigh

Nothing now remains, now you will leave me be

Sunrise into the moonlight

A broken body lies in wait

Your prize won you the stark night

And you made peace with your fate

Blind eyes sensitive only to white light

Reacting just a bit too late

Preying on insecurity, a design of your schemes

A true believer of purity must tend to what it means

Or allow its gospel to turn into a lie

You forsake everything you feel in favor of despair

Immune and blind to everything that is real in your secret lair

And cast away the captive heart that was thine

And you will go and leave me be

Winter in your soul, building a wasteland

And you tread a thin ice 'neath your feet

Sneering, and everyone you would shun

Collecting flowers to your wreath

Lifeline, a river cuts deep in your cold hand

It is changing when you try to breathe

Leave it all behind you, there is comfort in giving up

A seed in a barren soil might curl up into a coil

Flourish into something new

Give back what you thought was "you"

And give way to all that is new

Leave it all behind you...
