Lock & Key

Words that we whisper
Thoughts that we shout
You have no substance
So I'll dry heave you out

Absence of chains
Absence of light
Burning on through
The absence of night

Can't keep it out
Even when I try
Can't hold onto life
Everyone must die

Chasing tails
Dropped on their head
Dripping truths
The lies have bled

Inspiration hits
Like a brick
Lacking in substance
Rough and thick

Words that echo
In my mind
Thoughts that spill
Through a mouth unkind

Not done yet
Doubt I'll ever be
Here lies the proof
Behind lock and key
