emotional confusion
are you feeling the delusion
of our sentimental fusion
there’s a lie between the eyes
and a crack in the disguise
ignorant in our demise
but now the heat of the illusion
is obscuring the conclusion
now is that what makes us human?
keep us staring at the stars
throw our hopes and dreams in jars
i guess that’s just who we are.
Oliver Mar 2020
Forever lasts a second
Time is all a lie
And yet it still controls us
We never wonder why
Clocks and watches ticking
Keeps us on our toes
Could we ever make it stop?
No one really knows
Beyond the downward spiral
Down towards the grave
That’s where lives are truly lived
But only if you’re brave
Oliver Mar 2020
it all means nothing
yet we keep going on
because of we would stop
it means the world has won
but unfortunately for us
this is what i have found
most everything ends
with a hole in the ground
Oliver Mar 2020
Hopefulness consumes me
It’s a spider in my chest
It’s the feeling I know best
The spider makes its home
In all that I have known
The webbing makes me heave
But it’s helping me to breathe
Lays its eggs inside my heart
Causing me to fall apart
Curls its legs around my soul
Where it might just make me whole
Oliver Mar 2020
I don’t like feeling things.
I dream of happiness, and I feel.
My heart aches for what could be,
what will never be.
I see people, far away
and the isolation creeps up my neck.
The loneliness is suffocating me.
I want to stop feeling things.
I look into a pair of pretty eyes
and receive a smile in return.
Hope reaches its burning tendrils
into the depths of my soul.
It starts crushing and squeezing.
Hoping for the impossible hurts.
Everything hurts.
I don’t want to feel.
Oliver Mar 2020
alive, but only barely
awake, but not for long
each day a repetition
i’m so tired of this song
Oliver Oct 2018
I am burdened
With emotions
I don’t want to feel
Don’t know how to deal
With my suffocating heart
My brain tries to depart
I don’t want this to be real

My mind struggles
Under the weight
Of my broken reality
Something’s wrong with me
The blood in my veins
Are filled up with pain
Unfortunate calamity

I am too much
Yet not enough
Beneath waves filled with hell
I drown under the swell
Crumbling under pressure
Can’t escape this, ever
Bottom of a never ending well
The title is German - the literal translation is “life tired”
