Something’s Gone Wrong

This struggle

This battle raging across the turf

Of my heart

And my home

And bleeding over into this world

We’re all struggling

~

This confusion

These conflicting passion clamoring for release

In my heart

And my home

And echoing throughout this world

We’re all confused

~

This ache

This wound stabbing and scarring and searing

My heart

And my home

And staining with blood this world

We’re all aching

~

Because something’s gone wrong

So horribly wrong

And we know it,

Like this branding of the soul

That seals the message with fire

What message?

This message—

Death, death, death

This isn’t the way it’s supposed to be be,

This isn’t how it used to be, long ago,

Before the stars began to sing

And each one of us knows it

Oh, how we know it

Each born with a mar to remind

That something’s gone wrong,

So horribly wrong
