lost inside
there's a lie concealing
less than you thought
scarred for life
blame the world for being
all that you're not
cynical of everyone you know
insufferable and so alone
(you've) chosen to be blind
so then all you can see is what your mind's perceiving
burned and cauterized
feeling will not return unless the scab is peeled away
maybe someday you will realize
that you're nothing but a fucking thorn in my side
and its gone too far
now in silence
sick with regret
you act like it's
too much to comprehend
such defiance
there's no time left
this pretense is
somehow coming to an end
pathetic failure
numb in apathy
when all is said and done
is all you will ever be
jaded. left behind
dwelling in pseudo-existence until the day you die
hoping you will find
meaning somewhere amidst distracting thoughts of suicide
bitter and withdrawn
knowing that there is really no point in this going on
decide. (inside)
the fallacy remains
believing in the same
LIES!
