all who wander arent always aimless. where do you go to escape yourself? close your eyes and see me. <br /> all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be. <br /> i am in love with you &lt;3

do you hear the blare
of our music,
the slow tear
of our flesh as we march
through this unfair
reality, we will fight.
you just don't care
so we wont speak out.
we'll keep tearing
scratching and bleeding
you just keep smiling
so we'll keep faking
even though my breathing
is slowing
and my feelings are numbing,
i will keep fighting.
we will keep marching

Ah, so valiant! The seraphs will hear your might cry while you march through the battlegrounds called reality and your music will reach the ends of the earth!

You're not invisible. :)
