Leave and Be Left Behind

If all else fails, turn. If all else fails, run. If all else fails, hide. If what you seek becomes what you'll never find, leave and be left behind. For lack of pride and better words, bitter tongues taste truthful hearts. So spit back out the trust. The rust is in my eye. These righteous wrongs are wrongful thefts, stealing hearts to find some rest. I pray for peace beneath my chest. The empty room I fill with test after test after test. Full of pain. Confusing decay. Would I, could I, will I ever stay.
