On Repeat

It's been awhile since I've written anything at all

It's been so long since my dying voice sang a single word

I'm desperate to discover this path

This quiet trail into eternity, look at me

I don't cry anymore, but in my dreams tears pour

And drown me indefinitely, finally killing off what I've seen

I scream, I scream

 

I grow tired of catchy hooks, my nose in books

Your empty looks give away what I guessed for months

I should have run, loaded up my gun

And found peace in nonexistence

But your insistence has brought me back here

Alone and in fear, blinded at the gates my dear

Rediscovered how to care

Then remembered this burden to bear
