Locust II (Last Moult)

I've always said "I'll get to it tomorrow."

But this time I really mean it

I am the culmination of everything I've lost

And no amount of overtime can cover the cost

Shedding my skin, my doubts are next to follow

Petrified, but keep on breathing

I see the path before me, and turn the other way

Looking toward the future and it's glaring back at me

Old habits die to clear the way for new ones

And I'm trying to quit being my own villain

I was smoking a cigarette outside my house

When the rain it started, started pouring down

I'll blame myself when it's said and done

But try as I might, I can't conceal my feelings

When the flames engulfed me I knew there was no going back

Now there's only ashes but it's the only choice I had

How have I not suffocated, took twenty-seven years to crawl out of a shell

Mentally fried from waiting to die but I'm beginning to break the spell

Nothing to believe, feel my body heave. Now is the time for the healing

I am the locust destructive and hopeless until the day I break out of my skin

One last molt

Breaking out of my skin, my last molt
