Master of One

We waited on you
Kneeled before you
But your eyes turned from our doorstep

Your baited breath drew
Deep from my lungs
'Til I was left with none for the fated

Release me from the world
Away from the scythe in my soul
Release me from the silence
A life in your palm, of all I know

We chased the memory
Of paths untrodden
And all we wished for was one more

Life to live by
To do it over
Erase mistakes that leave us wanting

Release me from the world
The claws strangling right at my throat
Release me from the violence
Of a life that is all I have known

Take me back home
You told me this is what you wanted
Find all I’ve been
You swore to only serve me all along
Take me away
Take me back home

Release me from the world
You’re chained now, there’s no going back
Release me from this pact
You signed your life, now come to me

Take me back home
We made sure this is what you wanted
Find all I’ve been
Become part of the human machine
Take me away
Come serve the world on bended knee
Find all I’ve been
The world is turning come and take your place
Take me home
The garden is no longer your place
Are you satisfied master of one?
