The skull

Easy now
Don't give yourself away
Don't let them know you're breaking
These are wolves and they carry no sympathies

Don't look down
These are but minor details
Hopefully they'll keep you alive

Don't let them see you breaking
Achieve to justify
Pearls before swine
No more hesitation
No more slipping away
No more waiting for a loving grace

You will crawl
Let's not get personal
You will serve an example to others
A skull at the gates to mark who's king

To stare the naked truth in the eyes and not lose grip on sanity

We learn from falling down
A willingness grows from defeat
To mock the ordinary punk
and see if you still got it in you.
Did you cry? I wept like a child.
In final acceptance to my own mortality
Fuck your pride, it will be your downfall

Easy now
Go lightly these are tricky times
We don't need much fuel to feed the fire
