and stay a guaranteed death from the barrel of his gun,
he sees us through the lies in which we hide under,
and he'll hit us with lightning without warning by thunder,

im just counting the days that dont count themselves,
wasting away with these books i keep on my shelves,
we are grapes turned to prunes that shrivel to dust,
in my window god built that we cant adjust,

life is so short in which life doesnt live,
if it never happened theres nothing to forgive,
and he ensures that our feet will hold to the ground,
with invisible chains to make sure we drown,

and when tears fill the earth and the pits of our hearts,
that is the time in which our soul departs,
to heaven if it floats or to hell if it sinks,
that depends if our mind could break the chain links.

This is a deep gem.

"im just counting the days that dont count themselves,

Oh how I could relate to that. I wish I had written it!

I'm just sitting here contemplating your words and meanings and I have to say i'm impressed.
