Unfamiliar

Reflections of violent shadows follow me for life.

Never gave into foolishness but suddenly you’re wrong.

What you want, I can’t offer; even now, on this throne.

Set a course for a new life where each day’s another disaster.

Now we’re forced to reveal it for ourselves.

It’s not hard to get lost on a path so unfamiliar (a path that’s always been).

Save a life at what cost? Now we’re on a track we’ve all forgotten.

We’re counting down.

The further we descend now, we tangle the web.

Compounding our torn existence.
