You were called like a curtain
Split like a second
Broken like a sword stuck in a rock
Forged for a hero
Birthed forth for a heart much purer than his
Mine
Ours
It's uncertain when the tables turned
But when all of your brothers have given their lives
For the strife you earned
You will get burned and it won't get better when put on ice
And I wasn't going anywhere fast
And my sister said she'd seen the end of my path
The direction that I fly
Straight through the eye of our aftermath
And you have to ignore it
Don't think about before
You've got enough fight inside to fill five world wars
It's just a game, just another cause
You're a switch and I'm a cog
And the last thing we need is another broken clock
So forget about your ghost limbs and all those things that scared you most
As a child of twelve
You see I'm thirteen now
And if I die for the thousandth time
I'm unafraid, for I outnumber hell
And I wasn't going anywhere good
So I straightened my glasses and I did what I could
What I had to
But damn it's hard not to look back at the time
But I wasn't going anywhere fast
So I said goodbye to walking my own path
The direction that I fly
Straight through the eye of our aftermath
What makes us who we are?
Is it our bones
Wrapped in all our scars, they're ours alone
They outweigh tails and talons, feathers, foam
Unless they're not
Unless they don't
You were called like a curtain
Split like a second
Broken like a sword stuck in a rock
