FIGHTING FOR

Paint my face with lies and scarlet

Life moves on but she's a harlot

Sick and twisted painted sister

Offers up what ONE delivers

Feel myself back through the maze

But the labyrinth lies demanding

See each face run through the phase

Slack filled sorrow reprimanding

Harried up but taut the line

She gives up what she's divining

Drops the rod and loses focus

Toward the lies they were inclining

Included, haphazard stories

Chaptered in right off the cuff

Feels the sin, forgotten glories

Offers up that "life is rough"

I give up to satisfy

What I gave up, now twice before

Realize self - as the lie

Of the fool who's wanting more

Distant now pawn - the horizon

Lays his neck to scythe & sword

Nearly broken, bored and scheming

Realize his broken word

Then the morning comes triumphant

Eyes give way to sand filled dreams

Gasp for breath as it is halted

Lies give way to silent screams

Champion comes at once unaltered

Moves 10 strides in just one second

Breaks apart the mind of chaos

Satisfies the need that beckons

Setting straight what was forgotten

Clarifies what now's in store

Realize that love forsaken

Is the cause worth fighting for
