a shadow of a man, i am
to walk this earth thinking i am worth something
to think my soul has any value
when it has been proven that i am nothing but floating particles
what a cynic, i am
to believe i know the value of something
to put an investment in something so intimate
when it has been proven that i only knew the asking price
a blind man, i am
to see things the way they are
and not the way they ought to be
i pray for the quietest death
as i don't want to disturb others
a silence to the groans that come from my deep within
and a sigh as i release my final note
i wish for the quietest death
a euthanized extinction
my throat is raw from the mightiest of roars
my claws; dull at the tips
your love still rings in my ears
a torment I can never cease
i lay still, night after night
begging the invisible heavens, please;
somebody slip me the quietest death
nobody needs to know
i'd do anything to see you one last time
and kiss your lips before i go
i will lay still.
i will not make a sound.
i will be subdued.
i would die to never see you again.
