Breaking Down These Walls
Stay out of my life
And I’ll keep from yours;
Running in circles,
I’m done with this chore.
Chore of watching you
Take my life from me;
Chore of letting you
Be where I should be.
Let’s tear down this wall
And fight to the death;
With blow upon blow,
You’re all out of breath.
(Pause, now take a breath)
A breath for your memories,
A breath for your thoughts;
Broken and bloody,
In pain and distraught.
Cry I do dare thee
Let it fall like rain,
Every tear filled with
Such lovely distain.
Distain for me and
Distain for it all;
How I stole your wings
And then let you fall.
Falling, falling down
Plummeting to Earth;
In day we found death
And in night, there’s birth.
Birth of a new start,
A birth of the end;
This birth of a change
In which I depend.
Now depart from me
My bittersweet foe;
Your time here is done,
You’ve nothing to show.
Your pity, your strife,
Your grotesque despair;
Disappear from me
Watch, see if I care.
