Push On

By Argentum

Trying to find a way to get on by, I,
Spread open my wings and fly into the sky.
I cross the nation, on permanent vacation.
So many spots on my landscape are full of radiation.
I have never known there was anything more than death.
If I lost that, then I wonder what I would have left?

It'll be a given, sweet oblivion,
I'm a coming for you, to get rid of all my sins, and,
I'm a gunnin'. Mama, I'm a comin'.
I'll be home soon, unless the motor stops runnin'.
Lookin' for something I never knew I saw before.
It's time to open the door...

I'm lover, baby, and a fighter.
You want some, come and get it, I've got the igniter.
Seems I been left, without my knives and my guns.
That's okay, I like gettin' my hands dirty for fun.
Was all overloaded from stealing another's breath.
It was just a little death.

Who sees this other side of me?
Who knows what I'm able to be?
You see, you'll say goodbye to me.
One day, we'll both be free...

Now I find, as I try to unwind,
I'm being followed by a thief trying to stab me in the mind.
If you saw what I saw, you'd have seen what I'd seen.
If you knew what I know, then you'd know what I mean.
I've had more death and sin than most in my past.
Still, I hope to make this last...


I can't stop and I can't sleep,
Even though my blood starts to creep.
The hill I'm climbing is much too steep.
But I push on...

When I'm gone, please rest in peace.
I'll be done fighting this beast.
But for now I'll grit my teeth,
And push on.

    This was worth reading. It left me with a bit of bitterness but with a new awakening.
