The vibrations, jarring
(I don’t want to do this again)
Knocking
Knocking
Knocking
Same story, same outcome
They’re always trying to use the System
Knocking
Knocking.
.
She, she’s knocking, I know that vibration
(I don’t want to do this again)
Open, I see you
Rage, like lightning, bolts through
Attacking, jousting
All I want to do is slay.
Slay that demon inside you
Wake you up from that dream
Get you off your sorry-ass victim horsey.
Usually, I win
Usually, I penetrate
Usually, I hear my voice echo, triumphant
Over yours
Smaller
So much
Smaller.
But this time
(I don’t want to do this again)
You’re not responding
You’re not fighting
You’re not reacting
This, this seems to be a different kind
Of demon
And I look in your eyes
And you look into mine
And I don’t know who is what
And my voice cracks
And I stumble.
Remembering, quickly remembering
I shore myself up
And pretend
But you standing
But you looking
But you, curling hand back to heart
Staring
Something is different.
My heart hurts
And I feel very strange
But I know what I have to do
And read off of
The system generated steps
The typical offered plan.
I’m thankful for this script
As my center is evaporating quickly
My tower crumbling
(I’m a good builder so I quickly replace the bricks)
But you standing
But you turning
But you, not fighting
I’ve forgotten what’s next
I just watch you walk away
I just watch you walk away
I just watch you walk away
And try to forget
I don’t want to do this again
Letting Go
