A Missile

Hardest nails, impaled and war-torn Water vapours trailing Bloodshot down, I am drowning Born of iron failings and fear There is no faith can be sustained No original sin to blame Breaking back, unreactive Shaking my perspective Solid state, armour plated Deadly unattractive to all But you hunted me down again Man, you ran me aground right then Now I know Whatever lay beneath your skin Was all that pulled me in Weighted scales created fiction Empty revolution Essential trial, day of all days Silent retribution begins No expression that self contains No ulterior gain remains Now I know Anything hidden in your skin Enough to pull me in When I leave that sunrise Without a missile Someone flawless moves in With every potential What I thought could save me was artificial Raking across my nerves and taking possession Cutting a chainsaw swathe Through all defences still in place Because it's crazy and nothing existed It all escapes me I'm not even making a promise There is no faith can be sustained No original sin to blame Now I know Whatever lay beneath your skin Was all that pulled me in When I find I've carved out another profile I will leave that sunrise without a missile
