Gormless
Standing about for a sign
Waiting for anything
Listening
Nothing comes out of your mouth
Long after I was dead
You continued to stab me
It brought me back in time
Revived and recharged the pain
Flooded with the same blackness
And I thought I had cracked this
It seems so perfectly timed
An arrow shot, such a tricky target
But the hit, the flood that came with it
Worse than a final blow
A cruel punishment, repeated for eternity
Stuck in this loop of torture
Laughter from the onlookers
A ray of hope breaks through
Paints a strip across the wasteland
The tiny chance of escape
And the reminder of this prison
This could be my one true chance
But didn't I build these walls myself?
Perhaps clarity lies on the other side
I must try to see the hope in this hell
Stand and wait no longer for a sign
Listen for no call
Close your heart, you have your answer
Run! Fly! Flee now!
And never look back!
