Mourn to cut through
I found your merit in a furrow nearby
Mourn to save you
Your own beholder, your own beholder

These walls are built so you can confide
They're painted handsomely so you abide
This glass is colored black so close your eyes
Numb yourself and you will stay inside

Benign, blame yourself
A feeble rodent can only withstand so much
Knives point at me when you are guilty

Pay it forward until you are free
Nothing else is worth it, only me
Settle your wounds
Fill your cup with something new
Settle your wounds
Strip yourself from what you knew

I've placed the boards across your windows
I've nailed your hands so you can kiss the floor
A blanket suffocates the things you know
Numb yourself, like you did before
