Learning to Live

Give up your final thoughts to the storm

Insanity claims your throne of thorns

Whispers in the dark beckoning onward

Guilty tongue bound in scarlet stone

Wounded living among their pitiful creeds

Pay no heed to deeds of dead men

Long worn into a dust; fine and scarring

Breathing it in let your lungs bleed oxygen

Ashes fallen around us like snow

Innocent souls making angels on the ground

I look down upon demons making my world so cold

Save us and cherish us for the children we are

All mortal coils must be shed

Immortality is a tragic fate of nothingness

One day our lives will matter for something

For we all take a final turn to an inevitable end
