he’s awake now, creeping i can see his
face, now he’s sleeping
god release me from this beast
these fruitless trees that do not cease
i cannot stop for shade before peace
i heard you say love is free
and you lied.
your idealistic dreams are separate from this moment
and you don’t even wanna feel it
you just wanna own it
and i just wanna steal it
before you encircle and stone it
i cannot stop for shade before peace
i heard you say speech is free
and you lied.
i carry myself well
quiet and unannounced
i never ever tell
secrets yet pronounced
you are scared to see the sky
but i am scared to die
choice less in these woods
i’m leaving now for good.
i cannot stop for shade before peace
and you sang of harmony in a melody
typical of you, coward
and when wisdom finally fell to me
our time became soured
now i need to leave
nothing in this world is free
but perhaps where i’m going
perhaps something will be

"now i need to leave
nothing in this world is free
but perhaps where i’m going
perhaps something will be"



Powerfully stated. Poignant!
