The Skull

Easy now

Don’t give yourself away

Don’t let them know you’re breaking

These are wolves and they carry no sympathies

Don’t look down

These are but minor details

Hopefully they’ll keep you alive

Don’t let them see you’re breaking

Achieve to justify

Pearls before swine

No more hesitation

No more slipping away

No more waiting for a loving grace

You will crawl

Let’s not get personal

You will serve an example to others

A skull at the gates to mark who’s the king

We learn from falling down

A willingness grows from defeat

To mock the ordinary punk

And see if you still got it in you

Did you cry? I wept like a child

In final acceptance to my own mortality

Fuck your pride, it will be your downfall

Easy now

Go lightly these are tricky times

We don’t need much fuel to feed the fire

No more hesitation

No more slipping away

No more waiting for a loving grace

Easy now

Go lightly these are tricky times

We don’t need much fuel to feed the fire
