Flicker - Lightfinder

Until now

We were Tethered by relation and past

We drift and are cast

Out to a scheme set fit in

It wouldn’t be a struggle

But our essence tells us something else to believe in

Now is the time for me to fight

Confront the fact that

The only bones that i have are broken

Youve held it all together

But i’ll loosen up your secrets

I am your conscience digging at you with guilt

Digging at this sense of complacency

Smoldering embers

Remnants of worlds weve seen extinguished

You won’t see me flicker

You won’t see me fade

Its my fate to be extinguished

But there’s more to life than my fate

Along the grounds are trails of ash

Remains of the burning bridges

A reminder that all we are will eventually be nothing

In a world of only cut throats

You are told to round your edges

Just to make it easier

For you to slip through the cracks

I never asked to be sent here

I never asked to shape these outcomes

I never asked to face myself

But its relentless

Every question

A flickering match

Doomed to be extinquished

By the winds from which it came
