loyal
that's all that you are
trapped in their words
a weak little star
—
doesn't matter what they say;
they say it to you.
driving you to your last day;
you are the truth.
—
centurion, stand proud
order loud
there are deaths to your name
every last breath drives you insane
—
pawn, a pawn in this war
augur knows it all, right?
you can name every single scar
[why do you still fight?]
—
draw deep breaths
please keep them
then leave them
like
these
deaths
—
say 'you don't like me?
well, baby
i might be a little crazy
maybe'
—
son of venus
why is death your safe town
why is war your black crown
wrong wrong wrong
