Bandages don't fix bullet hole

barriers won't stop the soul

Many many times, gone through the same

I got used to tears. after all, why fear?

Still struggling while the end is near

I still won't admit I'm out of this game

Since you called my name

you're a liar in your kindness

I thought the water is to nurture the growth

but not stab the rock with wethering

Bandages don't fix bullet holes

barriers won't stop the soul

the tears are running without control

but still, my mind is a majesty

and my heart is the jury

judging the journey

They say you shouldn't

judge the book by its cover

never they said if you didn't

you would be squashed like any other flower

break open the delicate feather

crack open until you wither

it is not about the winner either

but the victory, considered a treasury

judged by judgements when your mouth is shut

by a gun in your head

somehow you realise

Bandages don't fix bullet hole

but it's not too long

before barriers free the soul

now no one would judge

Cause you go to a place, where there is no grudge

Meet the only person who has no wedge.
