Forgive me for my absence for I have been sad since the flames overthrew everything I ever knew.
And you'll never know how depression felt, when it seems as though you could sink to the depths of seas and die comfortably.
For I am the embodiment of damaged and broken minds, Deaths welcomed passenger, for I am everything I hoped I would never be.
Tonight I'll lay in bed accompanied with memories of what once was and wishes of how things should be.
And I have glanced into eyes hidden with deadly agendas and broken dreams and sweet aromas.
All I ask is for redemption of the sins I subjected myself to for I have learned better.
We tortured words that left the mouths of preachers.
We fed beasts the souls of people we labeled unworthy.
We stabbed pins in voodoo dolls of our ancestors and descendants.
And we know this world for we have traveled it's roads more times than we'd like to admit, we have did more dirt than we'd like to imagine, we have destroyed more people than finger and toes could count, yet we still stomp holy grounds as if something is owed to us.
Boats built on waves of lies couldn't carry us from islands of deceit.
And how far from reality you thought you could run before shotgun blast screamed louder than the souls of the wicked?
In all of my splendor and sadness, I dropped to golden floors and made opulent wastelands my home for glory rested on my fingertips.
