Halcyon

There were times where I could’ve turned and run.
Raised by hands and surrendered to anyone.
All they needed to do is question me.
Flawed and fractured had become my state.
Nothing sat right in my everyday.

Halcyon dreams.
Bring back that which does no harm.
All I hear are screams.
What I need most is calm.

Directions turned and walked away from me.
Body felt like it could never be free.
Subjects slipped through my fingers.
I was brought to the slaughter.
All I wanted was to deny them quarter.

Halcyon dreams.
Bring back that which does no harm.
All I hear are screams.
What I need most is calm.

Bartered intelligence for a safe haven.
Proof I could only be labelled craven.
Seperated from my one true position.
Sanity rested in outside my grasp.
Even my voice was little more than a rasp.

Halcyon dreams.
Bring back that which does no harm.
All I hear are screams.
What I need most is calm.

Punishment trained upon me like a sniper’s scope.
Every bone in my body was now broke.
Divide down my own faultline.
Torn and gouged like a dying sun.
Fearful of absolutely everyone.

Halcyon dreams.
Bring back that which does no harm.
All I hear are screams.
What I need most is calm!
