In Bitter Arms (River of Ire)
Sat beneath the tree
As amber streams
Peer through leaves
Kiss of recent rain upon my skin carried
By the breeze
Gentle brush of grass
Its fragile blades
Soft and green
Ebullient; the river roars a melody
Eager buds welcoming the vivacious touch of spring
Nescient of the storm that brews
Eyes that loom
Swift he moves
To strike and spill blood in the nest
The fangs of a friend deal a venomous truth
Bliss defiled by the abhorrent fiend
I could do nothing
Watching with worthless hands as your world collapsed
You needed iron but I was rust
Just rust
How I failed
Branded, bearing the mark
The inept protector
Defined by my greatest mistake
Oh, how I've tried
To see through your eyes
Place myself in your hide
But impudent savagery
I cannot abide
He's taunting me
Pools of sweat I can't sleep
Oh I think
I'll replace that cocky smile with a feeding tube to rectify my one regret in life
Consequence cannot contest
Liberation is the prize
Seething
Splattered apologies on the concrete's no remedy for the horror that dwells in her eyes (Dwells in her eyes)
But if I beat you to teach you to empathize
Would you take your own life?
Rotting inside
Unforgiven
I belong
Watching with worthless hands as your world collapsed
You needed iron I but I was rust
Just rust
How I failed
Branded, bearing the cross
So that you may flourish
Defined by my greatest mistake
Now I see
Time spent
Writhing in a river of ire
Was a waste
It was never for you
In the arms of the bitter
Is a hollow embrace
The next hardship you face
I know the choice that I'll make
Heal
As I'm consumed
Be something more
(Rot) Heal
While I rot in anguish
As amber streams
Peer through leaves
Kiss of recent rain upon my skin carried
By the breeze
Gentle brush of grass
Its fragile blades
Soft and green
Ebullient; the river roars a melody
Eager buds welcoming the vivacious touch of spring
Nescient of the storm that brews
Eyes that loom
Swift he moves
To strike and spill blood in the nest
The fangs of a friend deal a venomous truth
Bliss defiled by the abhorrent fiend
I could do nothing
Watching with worthless hands as your world collapsed
You needed iron but I was rust
Just rust
How I failed
Branded, bearing the mark
The inept protector
Defined by my greatest mistake
Oh, how I've tried
To see through your eyes
Place myself in your hide
But impudent savagery
I cannot abide
He's taunting me
Pools of sweat I can't sleep
Oh I think
I'll replace that cocky smile with a feeding tube to rectify my one regret in life
Consequence cannot contest
Liberation is the prize
Seething
Splattered apologies on the concrete's no remedy for the horror that dwells in her eyes (Dwells in her eyes)
But if I beat you to teach you to empathize

Watching with worthless hands as your world collapsed
You needed iron I but I was rust
Just rust
How I failed

So that you may flourish
Defined by my greatest mistake

Writhing in a river of ire

Heal
As I'm consumed
Be something more
(Rot) Heal
While I rot in anguish
