Prayer for the Dead

I will die before you wake
cuz it's my soul you try to
Take
You will never be what
You want to be
because
you died a long time ago
your dream never was
all you cracked it up to be
so instead, you try to do it
to me.
And mine.
And theirs.
And even sometimes yours.
There are no prayers for your dead,
Because they never die;
Instead, they are reborn into your lie,
And you tell me it's all in my head.
I will not betray you
because that would make me
just like you,
and that's what I don't want to be.
If I live to see you wake,
I will give 'til you can't take.
Until that time, know
I will not be led into darkness
Blindfolded, insulated
I have been awaked by sharpness
Of a knife. I'm no wife.
I'm no child. I've gone wild.
Until you see, I will build my world in my head
And offer you a prayer for your dead.

.

for you people who are blind, blind others, and attempted to blind me. i hope you can someday find your sight.
