Conflicted, conflicted My mind so encrypted There is no escape, my memories inflicted Pouring through thoughts as my emotions drifted Searching for absolution, through sands of sorrow I've sifted Conflicted, conflicted My spirit isn't lifted Entombed from mistakes wondering what I did Errors and consequences and a farewell I do bid Conflicted, conflicted Thoughts and emotions contradicted Standing here hollowed, my heart evicted Still is the world, not much to be gifted Error, error Fear and terror Time to shut down or be lost all over Again and again with my soul torn asunder Error, error Shut down or be caught by despair To late, it's here, it caught me unaware The damage is absolute with no way to repair Error, error It will never be better Not a shred of care Caught in Medusa's stare Begin rebooting sequence Letting shutdown commence Countdown has begun Five, four, three, two, one Nothing but darkness Soul as a black screen filled with emptiness Clearing all of my thoughts, my whole head If I didn't reboot, I'd be as good as dead Startup commence Beginning with mental defense Fortification complete Open emotional files, hit delete Blank canvas and nothing more An empty shell of what I was before It will happen again and again It will stop, but nobody knows when I am a blank slate but in the depths of my mind Are the thoughts and feelings I wish I could leave behind
