These calloused hands and broken bones
They cannot bear the weight you hold
The road you walked through certain death
Through constant shadow with bated breath
The walls you built to keep me safe
I tore them down for my escape
Don’t talk to me about sacrifice
I’ve traded in my future for this
Don’t talk to me about perseverance
I’ve tied myself to a sinking ship
I’ve run away from certainty
From the clear weather you’d given me
Nine grinning vultures circle above me
They watch my every move they lick their bloody lips
While I climb to the precipice they wait for me to slip
Though surely this is suicide I have no hesitation
Through fire I shall march this is my tribulation
There is no plan B. There is no escape.
