All the Things I Swore to No Longer Want

I doze wide awake, fidgeting with these frozen dreams 

I keep my nightmares on ice, needles breaking the seams 

You make me crave things I swore to no longer want 

Now my demons bear arms 

A gun on gluttony, a knife for pride

Lust walks like a predator and envy’s the general 

We claw our way into the light for the misfortune of being seen 

Catch me before I fall

Love me forevermore 

I’m banister and pedestal, pieces on the pavement 

Don’t put me on a plinth, even marble cracks

I’m a person, not a performance

But I’ll drink up the light till the day I die
