Fallen on the Sword

try a little harder
looks a lot strange
put a valiant effort forward
then have it blow up in your face

realize no difference
settled just to scorn
feel a plunge into a place
were all the worst are born

balance shifts again
it can't be any worse

bound and blistered
giving up
fallen on the sword

wound and twisted
no choice
fallen on the sword

traverse the unknown guard
break from the routine
that only spins the head toward
a challenge unforeseen

criticize the ancient
myths that are deployed
to harbor insecurity
and lock the minds door

balance shifts again
to weak to rage a war

caught in a middle zone
which way I turn
must rely on vigilance's side

found and listed
not quite
fallen on the sword

ground resistance
to late
fallen on the sword
