Your Invention

by Ð맆îñ¥   Jun 16, 2005


I’m the next out of this dark hole
Years in the dark has taken its toll
I’m gonna face the world
Around your finger, curled
I have to do this now

You made me what I am
My life’s become some sham
You’re making me return outside
For the world, they thought I’d died
Get the chance to ditch my shell
You’re making my life hell
I never had a choice

I’m just an invention
When you drew my attention
Hid me away to change
Gave me some strange exchange
I am yours
Want to escape, can’t find any doors

The light’s at the corners, just peeping through
Even at this moment I belong to you
Will no one come and save my day
Can no one hear the words that I pray?
Am I doomed to live in this cell?
A place of your invention
I need some protection

I’m just your invention
To show off to the world
I’m lying, waiting
Hoping your lies will be unfurled
I wanted to die with you far away
I’m dying everyday anyway
Yet every tear I cry returns to haunt me
Every blood drop back to taunt me

I’m an object of your design
You wait for me to resign
I’m always teetering on the edge
Pondering the moment I make my pledge
Life is for living in freedom and joy
But everything good that I have you destroy

I’m a discovery you made
It hurt when you betrayed
My feelings so much
Each day swimming nearer, closer to your clutch

You had your breakthrough
I had a sword through my heart
My life was over before it could start

I’m still stood behind the first door of many
Wondering what lies behind
Wondering why my eyes are blind
To bright lights that shatter my head

I’m waiting for new instructions
Waiting for more deductions
Have you taken it all yet?
I’m just a silhouette
Standing in front of the best of the earth
But I’m trying to dig it up all
Seeming to reach for that clutch
The one I hated so much

And now it’s too late as I’m standing stooped
No longer caged or cooped
The world seems a bit too big for me
And beyond is the larger mystery
I wanted so much to flee and cry
But now I’m alone wondering why

The creator has abandoned his old tool
Punishing me further, no longer his jewel
To boast of to friends
Now that he’s used to all his mean ends

I’m an invention now left to the cold
No chance to go back, not now I’m too old
I cannot regain the spent moments ago
When my heart was as light as it is heavy now

I discovered too late
That I’ll have to wait
For life to take my hand
Lead me away from your poisoned land
I realized how in my misspent youth
The evil can spread from a misguided tooth
And join its links all around till the black lace
Had picked up my body
Left the work shoddy
Picked up an axe
And leaving no tracks
Made a target again
A new one, higher
Closer to you

I’m that invention somewhere outside
Forced to surrender and forever hide
Fearing your sight and dreading it too
Fearing the moment I catch sight of you

Could I restrain my last working limbs?
Let myself go on spontaneous whims
When my eyes are the witness to such distress
Could I take on you with success?
Lead my own army of fools who could bear
The weight on their hearts
To live in despair
To find my self searching for answers I knew
To wreath myself in flames
And jump to the left
Find myself burning while I leap to my death

**Put it in dark but wasn't sure. its kinda sad and there's possible a lil love in it but well i'm just not sure**
