Rewards Unto Us Both
By The Silent Pendulum
You're a hideous beast like me
We both fall out of place in places
of obscure absurdity
I am right, so come let us be
As the outcasts
As the unknown
Like the dark reaches of a cave
Where only the
brave will walk
And the fearful flee for fear of we
Somewhere
we shall find our place in this world
But with a consequence
A
price
Like all things must be
Today is another that will be without
hope
But fear is soon cast off when we travel
Through fire
Through snow
Through the hollow caverns of time that echoes
Our
failure to belong
Our failure to be accepted
Without a
home or a name
We walk on as ghosts in the rain
Unseen
Unnoticed
Until our fates have ended and we lie in the cool earth
Our
place
Our only home
Our claim as we are rightfully owed
