Stay Down - Palm Reader

Beating after beating.

Rebound

I’ve been patient, patient enough to hold back.

Until Now

Teaching my feet to leave the ground

Feel the weight lift.

Taking off on the right track

Those thoughts have their place at the back of my mind

Stay down.

They didn’t tell me, I felt it

There were no choices or questions

This body has a mind of its own

Wide-eyed in the dark.

While it died in my arms

This life is a lesson to learn

Passed every point of regret

Dancing over my own grave.

I held back.

Until now

Silence is half the noise in this duet

Asking over and over for it to end, only kept you alive in my head

To be trusting and fuelled by misdirection.

To be fuelled by a misdirection

To be innocent beyond recognition

So you ask the question Is this something you chose or something you’re forced

to invest in?
