Shapes of pain sleep in me
Despite rings within
Yearning to escape it all
Only for a moment
Now, flickering lights of longing vanished under a cloudless sky
Snowflakes of ourselves cry amongst the shadows
Afraid to step into the light
Too many things can go wrong
The ocean of tears reaching in the stillness
The axe of cruel judgement has slaughtered many
But remain restrained, while we are covered in the dark
The memories of freedom engulf us
How far away and long ago it feels
Like it wasn't even real
One kid want to test that theory
We tried out level best to deter him
But our efforts were futile
He never came back
Maybe light has been shed again
Maybe it's finally safe to step out
It wasn't
The axe was ready
But so was I
Society, I have returned
Accept me or not,
I remain just the same
