"a new pain is another's bandage"
Redemption is a myth
for the mistakes I've never made
Karma is just the father
to consequences other's have paid
supplements are substitutions
for emotions that you can't steal
addictions are for the jaded
who's only defense is to become too numb to feel
Where in the resurgence of ignorance
can be the kiss of bliss in this ballad
Can I caste aside all illusions
no longer draped in the delusional blanket
Does love lie embedded in the scars
beneath the surface of childhood bondage
where heartache consumes heartbreaks
and a new pain is another's bandage
the haven's absence
like the drought at sea
leaves me lifeless and broken
raping the better parts of me
a broken face of a clock
stuck in stone by the dials
safety is an expression
shown through with a smile
will I ever be granted safety
through the tempest in this harbor
or stuck like the ashes
set to dust in this chamber
