Scars From Bedrock



Scars From Bedrock

Feeling happy is the slide as the canyon walls rise
Glinting bottles and pretty wrappers are friendly lies
Your momentary feeling of no self-disgust
The excuses in your mind turn guilt to dust

Guilt is earned for you know its false pleasure
Hurting and wounding your greatest treasure
But the will to stop sounds like the cry of loneliness
You know the ultimate abyss but nothing’s worse than emptiness

See the face in the mirror and remember long ago
In movies you saw the desolation you’re looking at now
Cards are dealt by random stealth
Faerie tale endings is the devil’s wealth

Build your bedrock or be swept into Satan’s quicksand
Passion is the action that solidifies to glass denying a last stand
You may wrench yourself free or rise and slide by degree
Bedrock is that chance you’ll have durability
