Agony will be the death of me
Breaking the loose hold of my sanity
Cleverness will get me nowhere
Dying is my only escape
Excited I am not, for the end of me is terrifying
Fear grips hold whenever I get close
Go into the black, avoid the light
How it controls me
I have no say in myself, or my fate
Just a watcher, a fool, a beast
Kill me please, if you care at all
Loosen my chains, set me free
My mind is broken, thoughts are disarray
Nothing makes sense anymore
Oasis in my head, tricks me away from the light
Pursue me through the depths of this place and save me
Quivering and alone is what I am
Restless ego, and narcissistic daydreams
Showering me with regret and tears
Tears from my past, dragging me through the dark
Unless you can bring me out,
Valor will mean nothing
Waste of space, useless piece of shit
Xing the spots where I became myself
Young me would be beside herself
Zero success, just madness haunting the mad
Yards of my depression keep me in
Xenophobia covets my dreams
Wells of misery go deep, hidden from my view
Victory requires a sacrifice I am unwilling to make
Uniqueness perverses me, clouding my judgement
Truth will set me free, but I am unwilling
Scared of the consequences
Rewards aren’t enough for my twisted psyche
Queen Artemis has far too nice a ring to it
Postering in life won’t leave me happy in death
Obstinate to the obvious
No sense will save me
My mind has been made up
Losing myself in the pursuit of being right
Kindness is weakness to me now
Jailed within my own head
It’s the safest place for me
Half of me cares too much, and the other doesn’t at all
God, am I weak
Foolishly praying to one I don’t believe in
Exceptions can’t be made to me
Depression fuels my narcissism
Cold hands of fate point me in the worst directions
Braving through it, even the agony
Agony will be the death of me
