Oh okay Johnny, please take me away
From this horrible place, cannot remain
Disconnected from the rest of the play
One of kingdoms and their kings, it is plain
To see the heart, that’s sits upon my sleeve
Like a butterfly with a will, a dream
Of a thousand suns, like a hole you’d leave
In a chest, you would never care, come clean
Of all the sins, that were burned into me
In the life before the one I’m living
Arson was nothing but a luxury
A time, where half my head I was giving.
As the distractions turned to clarity
I saw there was more to prosperity.

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
