It feels like particles are peeling apart Connecting Separating as they please There is undeniable space growing in my heart Observable to who peeks and sees Fate to blame I have no doubt Touching tears that won't mend Beneath skin circuits start to short-out Barriers between emotions blur and blend Real is rare so bare all imperfections Fake the majority of what others share Everywhere I go is overdissection Judgement is blatantly unfair Which only adds to distress Taken without one sound Cork up inconvenient emotions unless They overflow Then I'm drowned You cannot imagine what it's like Kills self-esteem to reflect Each time negativity strikes Is impossible to correct Bottle after bottle emerges emptied Sink in a sea of distraction Forever smoky air will not recede Chilly dreams prevent satisfaction None of our dreams visible anymore What are we doing wrong? Many bad decisions Too many to ignore I guess failure's where we belong We will never be proud living like this We are in darkness's constant shadow Sins overtake any chance we have at bliss Dragging troubles in tow Trust we will be able to grow Takes years to heal wounds deep Bridges over teardrops that flow Seconds wasted we could not keep To conclude Retain a sliver of hope Though happiness may be lost I build and maintain ways to cope Stay warm amidst the permanent frost

Blurred Barriers Bending
It feels like particles are peeling apart Connecting Separating as they please There is undeniable space growing in my heart Observable to who peeks and sees Fate to blame I have no doubt Touching tears that won't mend Beneath skin circuits start to short-out Barriers between emotions blur and blend Real is rare so bare all imperfections Fake the majority of what others share Everywhere I go is overdissection Judgement is blatantly unfair Which only adds to distress Taken without one sound Cork up inconvenient emotions unless They overflow Then I'm drowned You cannot imagine what it's like Kills self-esteem to reflect Each time negativity strikes Is impossible to correct Bottle after bottle emerges emptied Sink in a sea of distraction Forever smoky air will not recede Chilly dreams prevent satisfaction None of our dreams visible anymore What are we doing wrong?
