[Sword 4 Hire]

Top Hat Demeanor


Can you hope to decipher the scriptures
The scriptures I possess
I bear those marks across me
Decorating the outskirts of my flesh

So I hide my emotions from the world
Turning them away
For emotions lead to weaknesses
Which is a risk I cannot pay

But I keep the battle scars hidden
Underneath the clothe
Wrapped tightly around my disfigured past
Hoping they wind up lost

The shadows serve as my sanctuary
The silence my only friend
The one’s who have betrayed me
Will soon meet their end…

But until then I’ll stand here
With my head pointed towards the ground
With the brim of a hat protecting me
Humming the tune of a lifeless sound…
