While bending and breaking

Dilated to entropy

Light descending upon the brink of collapsing symmetry

Bellowing

Harken supposed mystery

Bathing in the decided ways they've carved in stone for centuries

I'm scared to carry the Emblem

Weight held with everything I know

But I'm scared that you'll carry the Emblem

With no resolve

History

A vicious cycle brought by privilege

Repeats itself fluidly

Paradox

Climbing ladders to nowhere

Boundless wealth in view

Capsized in the oceans of science

Drowned in the word of God

I'm scared to carry the Emblem

Weight held with everything I know

But I'm scared that you'll carry the Emblem

With no resolve

Staring down the barrel of a gun

With your finger on the trigger

Premonitions held with complacency

You acted too late

You acted too late

It's too late

I'm scared to carry the Emblem

Weight held with everything I know

And I know that you carried the Emblem

With no resolve

I'm scared

To carry the Emblem

I'm scared

With everything I know

I'm scared

To carry the Emblem

I'm scared

Resolve

Shackled by my own failures

Locked behind selfishness

Judgement comes to those who wait

Save me

I'm begging
