There's but one place
To treat this wound
Inside my mind
I am cocooned
Rroots and branches
Rarely pruned
Reveal a corpse
With blood festooned

And here inside
My capsuled soul
Is where I now
Fulfill my role
Myriad thoughts
I make my cull
In torment now
I thus am whole

Regret not but
That I am late
I've left my dearest
Ones to wait
Spurning ever
After fate
With thoughts my mind
Can never sate

Tripwire

"Tripwire" by Nathan Langford

I said that I love you
You called me a liar
I told you I hate you
But oh I admire
Your sudden restraint
The heartbeat is faint
I fell on the tripwire

You changed your number
And went back to sleep
In some wicked slumber
You made not a peep
You set the trap
And started to clap
When I fell on the tripwire

And you won't say where you've been
And you won't say what you've done
You didn't fall for all of it again
This time you said the battle's been won

My thoughts fade to black
When I step in the fire
An ambush attack
Stuck in this quagmire
I'm a sitting duck
I ran out of luck
I fell on the tripwire

And you won't say where you've been
And you won't say what you've done
You didn't fall for all of it again
This time you said the battle's been won

A victorious defeat
I retreat, I retreat
I'm bloody and bruised
I was tortured, beat, abused

I'm just so fucking tired

So I fell on the tripwire
