Abort Self Destruction

I am not living
just slowly dying
I hope there is
an end in sight
or else I might
I just blend in
for reasons
I never understood
surviving for the ones I love
pretending to smile at my life
forcing me to take
the next breath
All I want is an answer
on what drives us to hold on
to carry on with the same routine
day by day
Should there be something greater than my mind could comprehend
then I want to hear the reason
why should I even try not to die
I wrote a letter about my broken dreams, but it never left my room
just like my thoughts never left my head
Just like everyone else I just wanna be heard
at least by someone who cares
All I want is an answer
on what drives us to hold on
to carry on with the same routine
day by day
Until I find a solution
I'll keep tossing the content
of my brain onto paper

Amnesia

colours are fading as if the rain would wash them away
familiar faces are starting to look more and more alike
time
keeps
floating
forward
onward
streets keep altering with every step and all the street signs are just misleading
Home once so warm is getting darker, there is no switch that could turn the lights back on
stranger in a world once so welcoming
stranger in a world
Remember the days that made you feel alive
Write it down before memories disappear
disappear
time keeps floating
forward
onward
time keeps floating
onward
forward
Tell the ghosts of the past to find a new home
where they may rest in peace
colours are fading
Streets keep altering
it's getting darker
it's getting darker
it's getting darker
it's getting darker

I Am Emptiness
01:34
|
|

My mouth is shouting
my feet are burning
my hand is rising
my eyes are closing
I am cursed
I am cursed
I am cursed
Nothing feels right
I am at my worst
Nothing feels right
I am at my worst
I am one with the shadows
that haunt the earth
I reached the point where
I can't look in the mirror anymore
There is salvation in darkness
empty heart
empty soul
empty head
I am cursed
I flee from the sun because she laughs at my face
I avoid the sky, he follows me with his blue eyes

Wrong Turns

over and over
chewing on the same old lies
down your throat and down the drain
chewing on the same old lies
over and over
over and over
I am the son of broken homes
no lifeboat will carry me to shore
We fought
we won
we buried our sons
wake me up, please wake me up
from this nightmare I had
for so many years
We fought
we won
we buried our sons
born in dirt
nothing worth
remember
the pain
remember
the pain

Death Awaits
04:18
|
|

I live in the dark
I have no use for light
my eyes are transparent
windows to my mind
I hear another men's breath coming out of my nose
there might be a stranger living inside of me
I have no interest to keep my head on my shoulders
the guillotine is nothing for me to be afraid of
And all the actions that led me to
this place
will be washed away with my own blood
no direction for the lost
I am a silent disease
killing no one but myself
I will probably never find out
What I may have become
If I had just stayed safe
for just this time
save me
from myself
erase me
from this earth
I need
no comforting
death will
be my king
separate me from my body
a prison
the sentence of life is absolute
separate me from my body
a prison
I am sentenced by life

why
Is it getting harder
to leave a trace
It seems that everything
has been said and sung already
this is not a competition
but more of a selfish try
to be someone special
why
why
do I feel this need inside me
I want to carve my name into stone
yet it's getting harder
to leave a trace
everything has been said and sung already
forever means nothing if it comes out of my mouth
So why even bother trying
when death could be shifting grounds any time

Steppenwolf

I feel hundred little creatures living inside my chest
everyone is talking and I can't hear a thing
I fear what they will do to me should ever I fall asleep
hold your breath
this place is rotten
pull yourself together
I am a wolf, I am a loner
ill-suited for the world
mostly alone with my fantasies that exist in my mind
forced to confront the counterparts of my soul
Split into pieces the nature of my beings are uncanny
I suppress the need of interaction with others
I don't know what they will do to me
I am a wolf, I am a loner
ill-suited for the world

Coma
05:01
|
|

There is a reason
why I only dream in black and grey
I count the raindrops
on my window on every rainy day
the pictures on the wall play hide and seek
the wooden staircase to my room whispers silently
I lie in my bed wide awake, eyes closed, absorbed in thoughts
I wanna cut the wire
pull the plug
cut the wire
pull the plug
cut the wire
pull the plug
cut the wire
pull the plug
