Walk While Ye Have the Night for Morn

Walk While Ye Have the Night for Morn, Lightbreakfastbringer
I walk away walk away walk away from this Through the doubt behind my eyes and the pulse of fear within My stride is straight my stride is true It’s taking me away from you
Deceived like an eclipse the sun has blinded all Scattered like shrapnel in chaos splintered in walls Afraid that what we know is right and changing is the fuel Dumped into the fire of fear—unknowing and disapproval
I walk away walk away walk away from this Broke through the cane and left a trail of feelings I discard Crucified and drawn again gravel scorched and dusted Left alone to ponder love and people that you’ve trusted
Innocent of all but knowing captured within the search was over Held tight till your nails broke in the falling The sky was aflame and your hope was razed to the ground I held the match and I waited too long
I walk away walk away walk away from this The blood that unites us red with impurity Standing in silence I pray for deliverance Resolve like an ocean washing away footprints
Interpretations—victim of yours Regrets—I have none Interpretation—victim of yours Regrets—I have none I walk away walk away walk away then I run
