Savage Days

Whispers in hallways, in crowded streets
The voices always, in sympathy
You've walked a long way from sudden grief
Enduring long days that never cease
Savage days caress my dreams away
Will only time release me?

Savage days suppress my inner pain
For all those lying beneath me
I won't see them again

The sprawling walkways of sanctity
A weary warning of instability
With every heartbeat and lifeless need
Defeat prolonging, you can't release, you cannot breathe
Always the same mistakes, with years to face
Only the flame forsakes and feeds the shame

Savage days caress my tears away
But you can't defeat me

Savage days suppress my inner rage
For all those lying beneath me
I won't see them again
