The red of your uniform is blinding
Too similar
Hatred and weaponry binding
And so I tremble
Locked doors and heavy sirens
Sliding grips on wicked air
Long pale faces in my environs
Try as I might I wear
Sign after sign
Heat flashing through me
Handcuffs in your shrine
I pine
Strangers left and right
Sunlight beating down on grey sweatshirts
You are lifted as high as a kite
My fear resumed
You are king at your coronation
Endless cruelty at your hand
You build your case at the station
While I am broken down inside
Psychotic justice
Ambles through your heart
You can no longer trust us
Winter light on your bare legs
We are now delicate leaves
Scraping across the top of your head
You are content to watch us heave
As you scream bloody mercy
Fluttering eyelashes drip
The eerie silence deafening
At our heels you nip
Until eventually we may fold
