Misery

Eventually we all begin stumbling
Wondering if we're what the world wants and needs
Unfortunately I have no offering
Of anything but the words I desire to scream
Suffering and suffocating
Wrapped around my throat are the hands of "normal" society

Tombstones on every corner and every street
Those were once my ideas and dreams
All shot down and squashed beneath by those who are important to me
Heavy skies, oh please, devour me
Now I'm surrendering to the black depths of bitter seas
I've had enough of everything

Lost in an unending maze
I'm trapped in an everyday hazy state
My life seems to be on a continuous replay
Despite the voices I hear say, "choose your own fate"

Disappointment is all I bring
Under the scrutiny of my own blood family

Drop me down from a thousand feet
For I've lost the things that mattered most to me

My soul's been torn apart
And I'm left with a bleeding, beating broken heart
I'll willingly take the hand grenade
Because I'd rather die than have my castle of fantasy become lost remains

Swallowed alive by the polluted towns
I feel nothing now
Only guilt and grief
Because no one wants me to be me, true and free
Someone please tear off the layers and show the world who I am beneath
Try and understand who I want to be
Since I'm desiring to pass away into my dreams.
