Away

Away

A Poem by AClockworkGirl

Knead my brick-like soul.
Soften the lining to a jelly
that fills the wounds of these
damned friends of mine.

Be damned,
For you are only holy if you are.
Be forgotten,
You are only worshiped if you are.

So pray away, boys.
Pray away.

Play me to my breast.
Till the fists ball up
of their own volition.
Play me 'til the strings
make no more sound.
Play me to the ground.
For I've found that music turns the tides.
Music puts depression in her eyes.

So play away, boys.
Play away.

Suck the prayers from the air.
Make it empty so we may breath.
Suck the credits from the walls
so we may turn the keys.
Suck the secrets from our lips
so we may kiss the ground.

Oh suck away, boys.
Suck away.

Stomping grounds number aplenty here.
We stomp to keep the rhythm quick in time
to the lies we tell.
The lies we tell to stumble through our past
and keep the pathways clear.

Just stomp away, boys.
Stomp away.
