It seems I live my life

In a sea of dialogue

An exhalation of sadness

A voice carried in the wind

Trembling from the rain

That floods the streets

Guilt runs through the words

That gently caress the pavement

Darkness swells

In everything I've said and done

Or has it always been my defense all along

There are no battles left to be fought, won, or lost

Defeat is in the blood

That fills my veins

It's in the blood

That fills my veins
