bring me a dark
shade my eyes to
see ahead of
do I now walk

in is this a time
to be silent is a strength
you are me

if you are a man
if you cannot cry
you are not a man
you are half a man

and so how if
I cannot feel
the pain

I would rather
at least feel
than not

so soon I die

I walk through these wars
they cold me through the ages
— silent me

queue to the silence
dagger me so I don't bleed
miss the vein

wait - my future is
peek the corner I see me
I can't stop
