In ignorance and bliss
Off the path from his dirty street
Hes empty now and forever
With stains left over as proof

Quiet and secret
It's there turn to attack
As fault in my mind my brain only scrapes
And understanding just inches out of reach

Build up of anxiety desperate for a breath
Breathing freely now the thick stench of death
In vibrations from heat that only remove the flesh
Pounding fear in his grip of pain

Sober first then take a step back
And inhale
It's only the slower lazy white air
Incomplete for me a lasting memory

Stranger who knew not
Denial of one solid truth
Kept a secret in his mind
Ignorance never more

No turning back, this time, no walking away -Kutless

ok, so...I won't say yay or nay as far as if i like this since you don't want praise, but this part really stood out to me: "As fault in my mind my brain only scrapes
And understanding just inches out of reach" ...this is one of those writes where you really have to slow down and soak in everything...for like 15 minutes. la de da de da...ok, have a good day =)

hmm...
the last line, is cliche and the piece could really do without, because I think the idea has already been established.
the last section, is just kind of bland.
but there are a lot of lines in here that are really striking.

Take care
