Quiet The Lions

I can see
That the clouded mirror is falling between you and me
Though I'm blind by design

Bend my hands
Keep the scream inside your heart
With its demands
It can't bend my mind

So I'll try to quiet the lions
And ride the violence I only hope to survive
The silence - a riot that thunders on beyond the long night

I cannot ever mediate
Between the dark god warning
They abbreviate
And never once dare try to even recreate
The jagged clock course that has
Never deviated

Now I find
That the stars tonight are falling
From the sky
I close my eyes

As I try to quiet the lions
And ride the violence I only hope to survive
The silence - a riot that thunders on beyond the long night

I cannot ever mediate
Between the dark god warning
They abbreviate
And never once dare try to even recreate
The jagged clock course that has
Never deviated

I can not
Not ever
Ever help
Decide

I can not ever help decide
Between the god force method
Of a wounded pride
To tear apart your life before
You claw for mine
And cross a dark red line into a genocide

The bent glass across your broken mind
Could never mark down coffins of your wasted time
It's gonna last long after all the lions die
Don't be surprised when your heart starts to turn a blind eye

Quiet the lions
And ride the violence I only hope to survive
The silence - a riot that thunders on beyond the long night
