 Breaking Down


all those walls I built so carefully

thought were sooo strong

all seem to be crumbling to dust beneath the wind

you can strain, and build and trap and patch

but if there are fault lines running through the core

its only a matter of time

the swirling darkness cannot be contained

the trap doors all blown away revealing the rot inside

no matter how you pull it all back together

it slips away from under your fingers

forces you to let it spin away and out of control

storm rising like fury

bursting from within

tearing me apart inside and out

and I can't stop it anymore
