ive had my turn avoiding blind shoulders take this indulgence its something i should know these crowded spaces new and old faces preparing their cages like dogs around a bone it makes the mirror harder to see live with the burden beneath the defeat these rules will always be guiding me always be finding me i stand on my own quiet i bide my time waiting for you all to drag me from my throne i gave you my all all forgotten within your reach a rhetoric sign to be left alone i feel i own this right but im not feeling alright this time theres yours and theres mine our place has been divided by a subconscious line that we must now intertwine this time i wont compromise i wont be disguised by a hand in tonight ive taken chances deploring advances what must i lament for somebody to leave me whole take your toll from patient to anxious the future is letting you near and i feel like im the only one reveling in seclusion savoring silence waiting for resolution
