Amidst the dark embodied cloud
There it lurks beneath the shroud
Shackled in the depths of the mind
Resides the side that humanity tries to hide
The misdirected brutality
The undisclosed insanity
Waiting to attack the senses relentlessly
Abuse the mind continuously
No resistance can stop the pain
Of an existence where nothing changes
In a fate where friends become enemies
Distortion blurs vision and contorts memories
Causing thoughts to be forgotten in confusion
Objectives obscured by mental intrusion
Internal warfare has no ending
It last forever and needs no defending
Is there no release?
No way to make peace
I'm too far from the start to go back
And the end is to close retract
But how can I progress if the path can't be found
It seems there's no where to go except down
Below the layer that insanity brings
Underneath the film of denial rings
And as I sit there upon the floor
Balled up in the corner letting the tears pour
Hoping to hide from all this demise
Watching everything I cherish die
The room begins to spin in slow motion
Sending me on a collision course with my emotions
But remembering it all shatters my soul like glass
And pretending only covers the wound with ash
There is no remedy for what I have
No antidote to cure the past
Only time can heal my infection
So I treat it everyday with self-rejection
Forcing me to become this pariah
Tragically denied by the unified messiah
I'm placed on a shelf next to the window pane
To showcase the shame that I contain
So I bury myself to silence the sound
Of the corrupting lies that drag me down
And blanket me in this world of agony
I'm helpless in this war of truth and tragedy
'Cause there's a thin line between honesty and deceit
A line I've crossed and honestly beleive
But what's the aftermath of all this suffering?
Who's the victor within the struggling?
The outcome is sorrow
A future with no tomorrow
As this repetative cycle begins anew
I'm imprisioned by the paths I failed to choose
A hostage in a war I never meant to lose
A victim to the system, I am totally consumed
Gasping for breath, grasping for salavation
Obtaining nothing but desperation
So let my final voice be heard
Let all feel the wraith of spoken word
I won't FIGHT another day in this infinite resistance!
I WON'T be condemned to this meaningless existence!
