Tearing Sheep

All or nothing

Brick by brick, please don’t slip

Fingers grasping tighter now

Harsh gasp as the stones cut deep

Look down between your feet

Why do all those people staring look like sheep?

Heads turned up and mouths agape

Silent cheers and little sneers, tearing eyes

Fall, fall there all waiting for it

Another step upwards

You’re on your way, hold tight now don’t forget

This moment there can be no regret

Teeth grit hard as the blood runs down your wrist

It feels good doesn’t it, hot and slick

Just of bit more of this messed up shit

The brinks in sight fingers grasp tight

Another step onwards upwards

Brick by brick as stones cut deep

Look at all those people like mulling sheep

Sharp laugh pulled up and over, other hands are grasping tight

Over the wall you tumble free at last

The sheep have passed

Eyes no longer cheering, calling, tearing in those silent voices

Fall... fall... fall
