wishing on a scar

so

a light the red of lust

fills sky that we once shared

in alabaster seas

it falls like in despair

the colours permeate

a flag of a fallow land

this is no place to start

to make ambitious plans

born in need

spirit weak

the world we seek

is obsolete

so

it's true i've killed before

but i cannot again

some visions stay to haunt

decisions steeped in shame

maybe i was brave

to step through the portal

the most heroic souls

accept we are mortal

born in need

spirit weak

the world we seek

is obsolete

believing we're special

the curse of the mind

no defying death

nor controlling time

born in need

spirit weak

i need to know

how this story goes

but i'm wishing on a scar

born in need

what tales been told

when the credits roll

and i'm wishing on a scar

spirit weak

i need to know

how this story goes

but i'm wishing on a scar

the world we seek

what tales been told

when the credits roll

and i'm wishing on a scar

is obsolete
