To get too close

It's digging in

Getting closer to the win

It's slowly crushing

Everything it's touching 

No one cares

No one dares

To get too close

Its a howling screaming ghost

No where in this wide world

Is there a bright enough pearl

Of wisdom to counsel rest

The beast is hard to resist

No one will care

Please can't you see

That you're killing me

I don't know what to do

To stop feeling so blue

I'm going to die alone

Far from any throne

No one will care

Because I have nothing to share

It's all been taken

And I am forsaken

Cast out into the cold

Far from arms that hold

This simple knave

"You put your arms around me and I'm home"

Arms by Christina Peirri

I'll never make it

But I'll never shake it

This mountain I must climb

This destiny so divine

I'm not going to win

And though I may be free from sin

This simple knave

Doesn't get the save

So much between

A failure who has been

On the mountain side

And a loser with no pride
