So scraps are what I have to show Find myself amidst the undertow A pathetic pile of perfumed dreams   Like pretending life is greater than it seems This multiverse molded with illusions and tricks To knock you down just for kicks Nothing glamorous about depression A void that leaves the deepest impression Feeling like rocks loaded onto my back As if gravity is out of whack Attempting to rise off the floor Each movement leaves muscles sore Past mistakes written in blood Try but fail washing away with a flood So sick and tired staying the same Doubt and fear the scapegoats to blame Reasons irrelevant nevertheless Little extra effort might lead to success I am aware everything is bound to fall apart One by one shards will chip off my heart I attempt reassembling it with some glue To give it away like deja vu These choices I cannot explain Behavior proof I must be insane Wasting more minutes than I have to spare Fish out of water and I'm gasping for air Can't you see I'm drowning? A sea of my regrets Ghosts dancing on horizon staring at their silhouettes I think about years I continue to let slip through my hands I'm so exhausted chasing answers to a puzzle I don't understand Scared to admit this the extent of what I'll become Wonder if I'll ever escape the place that I am from I yearn to love now like I loved back then Believe in magic and forever again But hopeful naivete faded along with the sparkle in my eye Like while I've been in limbo best opportunities passed me by In a cerebral cage confidence confined by bars Self-acceptance shackled by a multitude of scars I am sorrier than lips will ever audibly speak Unsure if my dungeon will let me discover the exit I desperately seek This nightmare of creation darkens at an alarming rate Need to wake up from this coma I'm in before it is too late

Coma
So scraps are what I have to show Find myself amidst the undertow A pathetic pile of perfumed dreams   Like pretending life is greater than it seems This multiverse molded with illusions and tricks To knock you down just for kicks Nothing glamorous about depression A void that leaves the deepest impression Feeling like rocks loaded onto my back As if gravity is out of whack Attempting to rise off the floor Each movement leaves muscles sore Past mistakes written in blood Try but fail washing away with a flood So sick and tired staying the same Doubt and fear the scapegoats to blame Reasons irrelevant nevertheless Little extra effort might lead to success I am aware everything is bound to fall apart One by one shards will chip off my heart I attempt reassembling it with some glue To give it away like deja vu These choices I cannot explain Behavior proof I must be insane Wasting more minutes than I have to spare Fish out of water and I'm gasping for air Can't you see I'm drowning?

I'm almost most certainly about to break It's only a matter of time but I hate the wait Holding that familiar panic feeling I can't shake Leading to a heated, one sided, debate Pitting good faith against bad take They're getting more alarming at an alarming rate Basically arguing that everything's but what's fake is fake Completely oblivious, a bad trait if you know what's at stake Because BAM, in a flash, I awaken at my own wake "Excuse me, there must be some kind of mistake" But I must admit, the casket occupant is concrete proof I'm far too late ©2024

~•§•~ For *** Sake ~•§•~
I don't know who I think I am, but I ain't Ain't shiit, ain't a saint, track record ain't great I battle free will and fate over ornate quips with no stake in reality but won't vacate I'll always acknowledge everyone that has filed a legitimate complaint I eat nonstop, still too much on my plate With this much weight, it's gonna break Losses stacking at an alarming rate Losing track of where I'm at in this debate The one on good and evil and people that doesn't seem to translate Breathed life into a mistake I'm what I thought he couldn't make But here I am With almost nothing left at stake Never heard the last boarding call whistle for moving on, left stranded at the departure gate It never has before, I don't know why I thought it would wait And being in the state of mind I'm in, my best guess for what the *** is happenin' is not elaborate I was simply destin to be too late Or maybe it was destiny that was early but I shouldn't fixate 'Cause either way, the screen says game over and on the board... ...checkmate ©2024

(song) Dark is older than light so that might be why fright is what I'm accustomed to Neither vast nor confined, maybe both at the same time, it leaves no clue I don't know how to get my point across to you to help you to see what it is I go through It's a nothing that consumes my everything, there's not a thing you can compare it to Similes only vaguely paint the picture, but it helps to toss in a few If there was only a wind that blew, even once, maybe it would bring a familiar view But this void in its vastness brings nothing new, allows nothing to continue It's the solvent to my glue, everything I've done it's managed to uproot and undo And it's so quiet but yet this silent surrounding is deafening to an alarming degree In it I use to find beauty, now it's my captor, one of which I'll never be set free And it's convinced me, or maybe I've convinced myself that I am unworthy Of anything else and its that false certainty that cleverly keeps me in captivity I carelessly embraced this darkness that slowly replaced the old me entirely I scream, cry then whimper softly as the misery slowly embodies me Then lay back in submittance, in silence and plea for swift mercy I can't stay in this purgatory so give me my life back or take it from me completely I feel numb, I feel numb, I feel nothing, there's just nothing, nothing, nothing... I feel numb, I'm so numb, I feel nothing, there's just nothing here for me I had light once, I actually got to hold it But it was a betrayal, only staying for a moment In its wake the dark returned to claim what was stolen from it The door was too heavy, I couldn't shut it The nothing engulfed my everything, I couldn't outrun it Panic set like quick cement, begin to sweat, my feet became heavy, I began to resent and regret All those scary movies I watched 'cause I knew for sure that this was it But that's just it Nothing happened, I literally mean nothing was the constant No up, no down, no light, no sound, I couldn't even pick up a sent Then in an instant it hit me, before my head hit the pavement, I knew what it all meant Light, so faint and vulnerable, so young and naive It didn't stand a chance against the dark, give a **** what you believe Just because you achieve a small glimpse of hope don't think you'll never grieve When your life starts to unweave that's when the dark races in like a thief Every religion and belief labels it differently depending on the way they perceive They have to cause a mind can't conceive it so it almost has to make it make believe But please believe this is real, don't mis conceive Best heed my warning cause once you're here you can never leave I feel numb, I feel numb, I feel nothing, there's just nothing, nothing, nothing... I feel numb, I'm so numb, I feel nothing, there's just nothing here for me ©2022

Disturbance
Over and over again this memory bombards my head, but it is a memory I never experienced. Visions of another life, or maybe the moment I was pronounced  dead. The feeling is so real. Yes it feels visceral, I mean this feeling is so  alarming. Every time I live this  waking dream, a dark feeling comes over me. The closest thing I can relate it to is impending doom, wondering if it comes, if it will be soon.
