Armored Saint

Damaged

Armored Saint


Loathsome 
Glum is commonplace 
Lonely 
Longing for a face 
Dwelling in the shadows 
There's a darker side still 
Once what was wide open 
Is closed and unfulfilled 

Acceptance 
A need that I can't understand 
Some uninvited guest 
Is whispering demands 
Damage 

Private and off the beaten track 
Bulwarked, so as not to get shellacked 
As I sit in solitary confinement 
Which I choose 
Bewildered and stumped 
By the many ways I lose 

Some uninvited guest is tugging at my hand 
Sap the energy and corrode the order of the day 
Pigeon feet touch the ground, mind is disarray
