Steal away this false nation
I have built, Alone with you.
In my mind, this broken mind.
And dry away my tears.
Walk along, with no footsteps.
Leave no print for them, to see.
Slink away, just sneak away.
And none shall ever know.
Take upon yourself this blade
Press across my broken flesh
And bleed it onto this sand
Cry this song aloud to me.
A photograph taken of me
Pretending you are there
With open arms and glowing eyes
I live in this denial.
Withering, the days crawl by
Each thought I think’s a trial.
The waves clean away all our thoughts
Erase the steps, once made alone.
