Silence

I welcome shades of grey — openly
Anachronistic life — unending
Unnecessary strain — compounding
The failing cognition — resounding
I hate what I become
When all I am is this
And the weight collapses me
As the numbness hits
I fail (I fail)
Again
To break the fall
I’m here all alone, wondering how it all will end
Fighting in vain as into the darkness I descend
Waiting for light that I know I’ll never see (Know I’ll never see)
Desperate for silence once again
Asphyxiating will — incarnate
The hope of amnesty — discarded
I hate what I have done
To build the emptiness
Into walls I can’t unmake
And the prison fits
I fail (I fail)
Again
To break the fall
I’m here all alone, wondering how it all will end
Fighting in vain as into the darkness I descend
Waiting for light that I know I’ll never see (Know I’ll never see)
Desperate for silence once again
I’m here all alone, wondering how it all will end
Fighting in vain as into the darkness I descend
Waiting for light that I know I’ll never see (Know I’ll never see)
Desperate for silence (I am)
Desperate for silence (I am)
Desperate for silence once again
