Writing The Past

Tear out the chapters of the past
Don't salt these old open wounds
We sign the papers of our lives
Making the choices that embody us
We strive for the least wretched path
As innocence is trampled
And desire is nurtured
Ignoring the wisdom of a thousand ages
We push the line off the edge with our own selfish motives
Emigrating from our true home
Never even glancing back
We sign the contracts of our lives
Making the choices that embody us
We strive for the most beaten path
As friends are crushed
And confidence shattered
When we look up to the sky for help it smiles down on us and says you made this
Abandonment seems all too real but despite of your shame you still have one chance
Beyond the doubt of reason
Accept the fate which we made
Burn your want in the fires of your sacrifice
Kill opinions that bind us
Kill the faith that questions
Kill the cry that beckons
Kill the rogue emotion
Tear out the chapters of the past
Don't salt these old open wounds
