lyrics

To move, as if not there
But still as if you held subtance
What lies underneath was not a question

But instead it was to keep you emotionless as you murdered it
Press on, as the incontinence burys it,
fall straight as arrows to compensate

The loss of the mark, the triumph of the meadowlark
Silently hovering above even the albatross
To keep was not the bow, but it quivered the arrow
A simple home meant to shield your back from the talons in tow

I broke from it all, questioned the draw, silently aimed as I muster the competence
They said I'm not, they said I can't, they said I was everything but worth it
I broke from it all, questioned the draw, silently aimed as I muster the confidence
They said I was, they said I could, they said I met every expectation and still, I felt like I shouldn't have

Take

Away
The thought
Of ever
Being
Something
To anyone

You fail
Because
You don't know
That ev
ry one
Is against you

One day
You'll find
At days end
That the
Triumph
Is giving up

subject masked in feather
A spectator smiles and waves
The archer is quiet, abundant in stride
And so the hunger weighs down all the days

Something of quality
Cold wind decieve you
The fool is hanged and the sinner is saved
