Blotter from Scioto Darby by Avalanche Paths

She looked right through me
I was seeing how the promised words turn gray
The house is burning
But all the people inside it have stayed

I saw her on
My television screen
Promise the end
Of suffering

The passing days feel like the last
If only we’d listen to the past
I found a way to keep my faith
I’m turning my back when you stay

I saw her on
My television screen
Promise the end
Of suffering
Save us
Save us
This is the aftermath

Snakes await
Hope you take the bait

I saw the world fall
Wearing disguise
Walking to the edge of sanity
I swear you left
Your senses blind

Going deeper
In a trench I dug to get away
I’m beside them
Instead of making my escape
And now I smile
With every time
She lies
To make us afraid of change
