escaping the void to find the void is my only comfort

numbers letters and shapes flicker through my brain at a thousand miles a second

i cant keep up with the thoughts that won't up and leave

i string together everything i can to create something more easy for me to fathom

your name appears instantly in my head

the only thing that ever really makes any sense

i kick through the void ive closed myself into

and i flee to you

my only escape and my only comfort

and now you're drifting away again

like before

and im reaching out to hold your hand

but i just fall to the floor

wanting more

needing it all

but everything merges together again too fast for me to keep up

i shut my door and i sit on my hands

no point trying to grasp for anything like you again

 

never again will i try to escape the void

the void is the only thing that keeps me sane

everything else just ***** me over
