Idle and restless
I sit here all alone
When a single thread is all I have to guide me
A pursuit begins and ends
The spark of independence
Is smothered by palm sweat
A portentous ecstasy cascades
As another distant strand drifts and sways
The hunter tracks his game
And another triumph is made
But desire still rages
And as another temptation silently drapes
It taunts me so
These bracers of hubris
Embellish my skin
Confidence sky high
I feel no fear
I commit without
Any hesitation
Sheer fate guides my eyes down to the Earth
Lethargically, it writhes down to my feet
Sterilizing your soul
You don't want to feel anymore
Toxic thunderstorms take over your mind tonight
Patience pays off
That's the biggest lie we tell ourselves
And honestly you won't believe
Anything that I've seen
Colors evolving into
Clear stone
Don't remind me now
I can't feel my fingertips anymore
(Stella do you hear me)
Curious to know if I let her go
Will she go?
A portentous ecstasy cascades
As another distant strand drifts and sways
The hunter tracks his game
And another triumph is made
But desire still rages
And as another temptation silently drapes
It taunts me so
These bracers of hubris embellish my skin
Elation turns to despair
Armor decays to shackles
I weep, knowing that I am my own worst traitor
Now subject to the will
Of my cruel manipulator
