Crawling - Indecision

You’re running away from your enemies

You submit to every attack

Everybody gets their chance to wrap their hands around your neck

This is how life imitates death

Nothing changes — nothing moves

Spend your final hours hearing roaches crawl across your casket lid

Hear the soil falling over your head

It buries you — weakness

Crawling on floors and trying to hide yourself in dirt and in cracks

Disaster follows you so cross your filthy fingers behind your back

Circumstance makes you the victim

That’s what you want to believe

But you become the vermin that you hate when you let weakness keep you safe

Let’s just say that I went back inside to pull you out

Then you said that you’d much rather crawl

Let’s just say that I left you there to rot away

You’re so determined — chest dragging…

CRAWL — you’re crawling

While I live, I may fail — but I will never be weak
