Sign your life away

By openureyes

Make a fist

It will take your breath away
Feel the warmth upon your body

relax

It will fulfill every need
Be that something that was missing
Always leave you wanting more

And it grabs a hold

It will steal your soul
Make every dream vanish
Tell you lies
Buy you a world of pain

numb

Alienate the world around you
Continue to call your name no matter how much distance is between

And even when you let it go reality will never again be clear
Leaving you with a blurred perception
And everything wicked becomes what's familiar and natural


Put your head down

Wipe that smile off your face

Forget all you stand for

Sign your life away
