Let Down

A Poem by Narshada

This poem was used as lyrics for a band I sang in briefly. I really liked the song.

My heart seems to bleed
Without knowing the reasons why
But we know which breath to take
All of them, all of them

My black blood thick as tar
Thickening to the end
A syncopated beat drives me on

My eyes are ashes
My hands are made of stone
My skin is filled with poison

The steps are innate
Not followed by choice
Forced participation
A golden spiral dance
