Renegade

(Going and going away)
Two steps back to the other side
Where I run where I try to hide what I’ve seen in spite
(What I didn’t know)
Two steps back to another time
When the mind was a less divine disease to fight
(What I didn’t know)
Two steps back to a master plan
Sketched on the back of an outstretched hand
Fingers fan a failed appeal:
Do not touch the things you cannot feel
Two steps back to a battle cry
No mercy for the weak who choose to die
Two steps back to a future bright
Two steps forward into a better light
I’m washing off this skin
Don’t let the words sink in
I’m washing off this skin
Don’t let the words sink in
Do you believe?
