The Pledge

These are the bruises you dealt
I’ve taken every punch
Through the years I have tried to abide
And leave the chaos behind
Don’t hold my hand. Do not come too near…
I’ll crush your bones indeed
Don’t hold my hand. Do not come too near…
You’ll learn it hurts to bleed
The guilt and anger remained
This is what held me down
In your shadow for way too long
I always thought I was wrong
Don’t hold my hand. Do not come too near…
I’ll crush your bones indeed
Don’t hold my hand. Do not come too near…
You’ll learn it hurts to bleed
Now for once I start anew
Building something without you
Something genuine and…
(LEAVE ME ALONE… OUT OF MY HEAD)
The oblivion within
(LEAVE ME ALONE)
In my spine and through my skin
(OUT OF MY HEAD)
At the edge I’ll hold the line
Test me again, see if I care
Cross my domain, try if you dare…
