It’s dark
Why?
I ask myself again
Is this how it goes
An endless cycle
A frantic animal
A poisoning anxiety
Filling my veins
Panic
Running
Hitting these cage walls
Shake it off
Only to begin again
An internal confusion
Which way is right
And where are you

No cure
Help...
It’s a crippling sickness
Eating away
Inside and out
Tearing apart
Manifesting everything
Losing all senses
Even feeling
Can’t
Breathe
A choking gas
Always coming back
Unable to see the horizon
What if I let go
Would you
Grab my hand

Always lost
Where?
Echoing in my mind
Is no one there
Will I make it
Alone and afraid
It’s numbing
In every way
Falling
Quickly
And losing control
Slipping even further
It’s too late now
For your saving
I’m out of reach

Mocking shadows
Stop!
Dreaming up the worst
Nightmares
That’s what they say
Trying too hard
To fight this
Eternal corruption
Scarred
Beaten
Muted screams from the soul
Pleading for mercy
Hidden bruises
Won’t fade
How long will it take
Before you find me

Before I break.
