I want to escape this dismal place
Confined to heavy space in the back of my mind.
Counting the lonely, broken seconds of time,
Continuously winding inside.
Crooked spine, contorted heart
Colossal soul and weightless world
Forceful pulls, ripping me apart.
Bewitched sunrise shall burn a hole,
Betwixt dusty, abandoned windows.
Bury myself in the back of my skull
Where the whispering voices go
When I'm all alone.
You don't know, you don't know
Every single nerve loses control
This sun never sets,
It devours me whole;
Melting my flesh,
Rays penetrate my bones.
I feel like death, I feel so cold
Shivering, grotesque, and old.
Light doesn't scorch when darkness
Is all you've known,
It burns like hell when you're alone.
So blind and so invisible.
These clouds shroud my head,
Creating oceans on my bed
Full of things better left unsaid,
Forgiveness and try-so-hard to forget.
Death permeates through deep regret
Another way to clean this mess.
I want to escape this dismal place
Confined to heavy space,
I contemplate
Ways to change my fate.
I need to shed this weight,
Have it disappear and fade.
My colossal soul burns in a
Never-setting sun
I'm trying to find the strength to
Carry myself and run
Before I burn up, and all that remains is dust.
