No sleep awaits the dead
who live for the madness
and pain
that lingers everywhere
No cure can fix the broken
whose souls have fallen apart
No love can heal a heart
that died in loss and dread
No safety ends the fear
that was born with us
and fades when we do
What life this is
to fear the world
and to embrace the dark
that fills up the heart
‘til no humanity is left inside?
I’m so tired
that I’d love to close my eyes
and faint
to reach for the sky
with my bare hands
so limp and stiff
as if they’d not belonged to me
But don’t mention my dysmorphia
I don’t care
for the body of a stranger
or the slowly soaking death
that lurks in the shadows
of the hangman’s mind
as long as I reach my goal
So close your eyes, love
to pause the world
that shatters hopes
and hates the hate
it creates itself
Why so glum?
Just take off your mask
and embrace the light
that was swallowed
by our own darkness
Do you see the obscurity
that deters us from dreaming?
We glamourise ourselves
While being the monster to our mad rush
We’d wish to be dreamers
who think in actions
and ameliorate, age by age
Instead of going round in circles
without moving on
What life this is
to be caught in failure
and drowned in thoughts
of toxic fantasies
which’ll never come alive?
Close your eyes
to blind yourself
and taste the feeling
that’s knocking all the time
the cruelty soaks through
the good in us
we are so proud of
but bid our hoard farewell
Smile away your tears
we aren’t made for eternity
We just pass our misery
to the afterworld
that sleeps in ourselves
Why can’t we think
of the root of all evil?
We ain't the dreamers we want to be
We are hater and soldiers
in a war with no end
fighting for peace
which is lost in blood
