I dont know anymore,
I'm spending too much time
Staring off into the great beyond
Beyond these four walls
Beyond these bounds in my mind
Hands tied, mouth gagged.

Are you made?
I'm not angry or mad.
Then what are you?
I dont know.

I've always asked for the truth
And I'll return nothing but the same.
So honey, please, give me just this moment,
Just this second of respite.

Take all the time you need
To figure things out.

Pardon me sweetheart,
I don't mean for you to rush,
Please take your time
And use it to its fullest.

I wish I would take
my own ******* advice,

If only I could hear myself speak,
But these voices in my head
Are screaming.

God, please, honey save me
Friend please don't let this
Be the quiet bang
That we go out with.

Because while your time is spent
Shaping your mind
And your future,
I've started talking to these
******* walls, surely they
Are friendlier than those
That speak inside my head.

Save me please
Before I melt away
With these voices
That surround me
All the time.
Probably the most emotionally driven piece I've ever written.
