Our True Demise
Keep puffing poisonous clouds
I feel stress decrease
Lost like my former self
Keep searching for inner peace
Things are so out of place
Been ****** up for awhile
Try to keep my mind right
Hosting self-blame and denial
I obstruct noise with music
Block distractions with volume
Worries barge in large groups
Interrupting speakers loud tune
Nothing quiets my ever-screaming thoughts
No sound drowns my troubled brain out
Tried but am incapable of
Changing what I think about
Sometimes I lose control and cry
It's the only thing I can
In bed dreaming happy futures
Hope to get there but have no plan
Fall asleep before pillows dry
Fall apart when dusk creeps in
Negativity held in place by lies
Like laundry hung on clothespins
Love is our ultimate weakness
Only great fools believe otherwise
We escape life through others
That is our true demise
If we cannot escape death, let us at least escape life; through love.
