Look around until I am out of breath
Cigarette and coffee stained teeth
How could I forget?
When I lay down and my mind goes wild
I become so numb
So imperfect and fucking ugly
And so fucking dumb
As I fall
Do you even care at all?
No one knows what I go through every night
So as I fall
My own hate rings through my ears
Cerebral games
Played against myself
My thoughts forever changed
Giving in to my corroded mind
Tunnel-visioned affirmations won't work out this time
Feeling hopeless
And so broken now
Until I surface up
Sadness confounds me
Ambition surrounds me
Purpose found at last
As I climb
Through my mind past those thoughts that sneer
Over there
See the distant light so clear
So as I climb
Can you see me running away from your grasp?
Leaving you to rot away.
