If you can
Find a better plan
Just toss it in the pile
I'll read it when I can
If you cannot see
The stone in my skin
The gargoyles guarding my heart
A protector can rip you apart in the end
So watch when you walk
There are tripwires
And traps all about
And outlines in chalk
There are wounds
There is blood on my hands
On my hands
When I stand
I will blow over again
Don't begin
I can see only the end every time
More vivid than anything else in this life
So hide all the knives
Grab the chain mail
And cover your back
And don't walk the line
Rings of fire will not burn you
No matter how kindly you ask
And I reach for the key
As each door's slamming shut around me
And I'm tattered and frayed
Being eaten alive by my brain
Eaten alive
And yet I feel fine
If it ends, I'll never start again
