Hiroshima Shadows

I’m so tired of getting bad news everyday

So sick and worried over whether you will stay

Guess I can always wish or pray

What will you be doing on judgement day?

So tired of keeping the wolves at bay

No, psychotic episodes are not okay

It’s not if you win but it’s how you play

Thing’s are different since she’s been gone away,

Now that your life is in disarray

You had no idea karma would make you pay

Is that what’s making your hair turn gray?

You’re hoping this will just be a temporary phase,

No longer suffering her judgmental gaze

Living off the scraps of her non-existent praise

Seems like your life is a perpetual maze

That’s why you walk around in a daze,

Hiroshima shadows etched into the walls

A blinding white light I seem to recall

It was as if fire and matter had a brawl

Life as I knew it would be forestalled,

Shadow people in my mirrors at night

Sinister and foreboding they shrink from the light

Perhaps I just wasn’t thinking right

They’re always lurking just out of sight,

Sleep deprivation and abnormal dreams

These are the tools of demonic schemes

Harbingers of some kind of awakening it seems

And all because you were abandoned by your queen.
