Not Today
Bellowing heart screams in rage
I calm it down and turn the page
Mask in place , ready for play
Oh dear heart , not today
Whispering mind asking for turn
Unblinking eyes waiting for burn
I follow steps lathered in gray
Oh dear heart , not today
Iron will covers broken dreams
Tears flowing in silent screams
I swallow it down and again obey
Oh dear heart, not today
Haunted voices hushed but still loud
I stand there waiting for parting cloud
Sprinting spirit looking to roam
Oh dear heart , let's go back home
