Survivor
March 7, 2013
The scars of the past
And the smoke of humanity
Slowly blowing the smoke out
And becoming a better man
The visions of the blade
Still haunt me
Red blazing on your arms
This creature is dying
The blur of smoke is fading
Lessen the pain inside
Breathing a cloud of dark
Slowly killing what's inside of me
The scars heal
And the smoke dissipates
I am a survivor
