While bending and breaking
Dilated to entropy
Light descending upon the brink of collapsing symmetry
Bellowing
Harken supposed mystery
Bathing in the decided ways they’ve carved in stone for centuries
And I’m scared to carry the Emblem
Weight held with everything I know
But I’m scared that you’ll carry the Emblem
With no resolve
History
A vicious cycle brought by privilege
Repeats itself fluidly
Paradox: Climbing ladders to nowhere
Boundless wealth in view
Capsized in the ocean science
Drowned in the word of God
And I’m scared to carry the Emblem
Weight held with everything I know
But I’m scared that you’ll carry the Emblem
With no resolve
Staring down the barrel of a gun
With your finger on the trigger
Premonitions held with complacency
You acted too late
You acted too late
It’s too late
And I’m scared to carry the Emblem
Weight held with everything I know
And I know that you carried the Emblem
With no resolve
I’m scared
(to carry the Emblem)
I’m scared
(With everything I know)
I’m scared
(You’ll carry the Emblem)
I’m scared
(With no resolve)
Shackled by my own failures
Locked behind selfishness
Judgement comes to those who wait
Save me
I’m begging
