Absorbing man

Expectations made me

like a rotten corpse

Waiting patiently

Like a dead tired horse

 

Assumption was a basket

Full of false hopes

Anger control

Put away the ropes

 

Take me where

There is equality

In taking love

And giving is in duality

 

When sensitivity meters

To negative factor presence

I summon the spirits

To give me more patience

 

Cursing I won't drop any

Harsher words I can say

In my decaying will

That I've put into prey

 

Is this what you've wanted

Is this tomorrow you've dreamt of

Is this the chained cycle

Running in infinite paradox

 

Is this what I woke up for

Is this where all should I know

Is this the future

How far will you go.

 

How do birds sing

How do you even sleep

I am a train losing steam

Falling in a downhill steep

 

The tipping point has been reached

My spectrum of tolerance in a can,

But it's all good everyday

Because I am the absorbing man.

 

Is this the world you've wished for

You can discard this unending run

Manipulate my feelings

But I am the absorbing man

 

I've sacrificed my world

My feelings, my needs in one

It's all thumbs up

Because I am the absorbing man

 

The passion has been petty

By the way you make me feel

But it's just my feelings

And I am the absorbing man.

 

I've dropped everything

To avoid complications and fuckery

Indulge yourself

Because I am the absorbing man.

 

I am starving and thirsty

Feeling needy and still existing

**** my existence

I am the absorbing man.

 

Dimes and good life

Can I take this to my grave

I don't even deserve a grave

Because I am the absorbing man.
