Arches and Angels

Arches and Angles
Demons and Angels
Sing twisted melodies in my head
They choose to torment
That which is long dead
Passion and Apathy
Hatred and Sympathy
I’m scared of your empathy
As i’m upside down
And right side up
My mask settles into place
Held with bolts of iron
Etched, hollow eyes
Steeled against the cold
That emanates from that heart
In that body over there
Feebly beating, as if it’s alive
Carved, a shallow smile
To give the world what it wants to see
Freedom and Liberty
Ensnare us as we are slaves
To what they owe us
Justice and Mercy
Satisfied and Thirsty
For that twisted melody
Filters through my mind
As i pick out the crazed harmony
Demons and Angels
Hidden in Arches and Angles.
