End Tome
Deception falls like shrapnel
From my vocal chords
Painting pictures of events
That are better off ignored
These words stacked like dominos
Just one breath could make them fall
Ahab fought the Whale
When he should have fought the man he'd become
My fate fully sealed
I should have known
There's wisdom in great novels
And forgotten tomes
The water around my ankles
Lets me know I've swum too far
Please don't try and save me
I'm already gone
Deceit clings upon my mouth
Allowing no truths to come out
Like iron bars that shield the facts
In a vault that cannot be passed
These thoughts pass from lip to lip
Like a parasite or germ
I've been treading water
When I should've fought the man that I've become
My fate fully sealed
I should have known
There's wisdom in great novels
And forgotten tomes
The noose around my neck
Lets me know I've swung too far
Please don't try and save me
I'm already gone
From my vocal chords
Painting pictures of events
That are better off ignored
These words stacked like dominos
Just one breath could make them fall
Ahab fought the Whale
When he should have fought the man he'd become
My fate fully sealed
I should have known
There's wisdom in great novels
And forgotten tomes
The water around my ankles
Lets me know I've swum too far
Please don't try and save me
I'm already gone
Deceit clings upon my mouth
Allowing no truths to come out
Like iron bars that shield the facts
In a vault that cannot be passed
These thoughts pass from lip to lip
Like a parasite or germ
I've been treading water
When I should've fought the man that I've become
My fate fully sealed
I should have known
There's wisdom in great novels
And forgotten tomes
The noose around my neck
Lets me know I've swung too far
Please don't try and save me
I'm already gone
