“Cry your heart out
Drown in your blood
Turn into a corpse
Bury yourself in thin air
Let yourself be suffocated
Stifle the body
Let your screams scare you
Let your breaths burn you
While your own hands strangle you
Fear being seen
Hide from yourself
While your own sight cripples you
trapped within own skin
Crushed beneath dreams
There’s no escape no more
Surrender, suffer
(Suffer as if you loved)
The night is afar
The eyes little ajar
Tears all dried
Whispers all belied
Who could you turn to?
Still expect sympathy?
You can’t play clown for too long
Declared a pariah
It’s time you give up
You deserve no pity
You deserve no mercy
Your lies are tired
Your manipulations laughable
Caught red-handed
You couldn’t convince no more
The days loathe you
Night mocks you
Still throwing the dice?
Selling from half dug grave?
Your wisdom is rotten
You are only buying yourself misery
And some more
Claiming to be
On the journey
To salvation
Where there’s no salvation
But only tragedy
Alas…”
