Deviation - Diary of Dreams

And the place was burning

Where once my cradle stood

Memories still yearning

For what my childhood took

In peaceful shelter I may rest

Just instincts of salvation

O’deviate from the within

But hate I may not feel

A nations decay within my eyes

Imploring still in vague seclusion

A tear from a child’s eye- obeying still

But fate just ties together

What’s my flesh?

And what my skin?

What my privilege?

And what a sin?

Have I come to stay

What I can never be?

Have I come to beg

For a new identity?

…to blame…

O' I have tried to fly

But I did not have wings

I have tried to speak

But I did not know how

Like a new-born child

I have tried to trust

Reaching out

But my cradle burning

A nations decay within my eyes

Imploring still in vague seclusion

A tear from a child’s eye- obeying still

But fate just ties together

Just memories today

Yes, I exist, but do I also live?

I must deviate from the within

But hate I may not feel
