Tie my hands behind my back and drag me that way so you can't see my face.
You could see if you'd look. past the blinding deafening pill you took
and you never learned to lip read for you do not want what you really need or read at all the writing on the wall
You walk ahead with torch held high maintaining a shackle beneath my thigh because binding me is the only way you see to make it.
I know your need... but you can't see that I hold the key and can be free... I'm doing you a favor
I'll be small while tall you stand as I'm feverishly writing in the sand that even through your biting hand I understand The wanting...
To bind me to blind me to sign me entwine me to throw me to know me to drone me to clone me I would want to, too if I were you
Your mind should be full of why I let you pull and I don't resist and I respond with a kiss... but watch your wrist because eventually I'll slash. And you will crash and maybe me too because we both have something to lose You need to feel big and I have to feel small but in the end, you shrink and have nothing at all loose chain and an empty, useless trick bag because... I didn't really like the drag I just hung around to hear your feet pound with the weight of your own weakness
I speak this now so you will know how the seed becomes an oak that I may provoke your armor crack so you can avoid a broken back and save the one of your next attack
you tied my hands behind my back but I let you... you lose...I win. I am pale and you are black but you're indebted ... you choose your sins.
The humility that was my chore is again the knock upon my door to break the chain and walk away while you desperately search for your next prey and try to make them very small so you can then feel very tall You crack your whip and search the crowd for the next to be shadowed by your cloud on your sinking ship of your downward fall can't read the writing on the wall illiterate no matter what the scrawl of the toes in sand of who you make crawl and still you remain so very small for the one with the whip learns nothing at all.
