Reality Alteration Is Not A Figment Of Imagination

Sick to my stomach, its every week you know?

Acidic, chunks, or the guilt I sow 

Im in my own head, trying to play psychiatrist

But I scream and yell, it doesnt help in the slightest

Theres a whisper that comes as I doze off to dreamland

"Your life is a waste, so why are you breathing?"

I spend hours a night trying to justify my existence

But in the end I lose, embarrassed and dead to my parents

Maybe Im dead to myself too

Always hung up on hanging myself with a makeshift noose

Its just a dog collar or my old jump rope

When Im at the end of my line  theres no sound to holler or words from my throat

Its a gargled mess as a statement in life

But theres one problem I have at the end of the night

See Ive never seen God or any of his angles

No presence of good that has ever dangled

Though I have seen the wrath and delight

Of a being with power who makes this world seem perfect in every right

Theyre waiting for me on the other side

And there are no good deeds to help me escape or to hide

So while my body is weak and my mind much frailer 

I prefer this torment over the one they have tailored
