Exhausted

Exhausted again
by the powers that be
and everything
like a new found enemy

exhausted again
by the kings and thieves
who covered my eyes
and handed me a drink

remove. the knife. from. my back.
remove. the knife. and...

there will be no blood, there will be no blood,
there will be no [bad word] blood

slamming doors just to breathe
getting close just leave
hiding maps, lost, out at sea
like a fight, a right, a fist, birthright
so much gone and lost, it's out of sight

take it punch by punch
the kings and thieves

remove myself, remove myself
I'm so exhausted, remove myself
