---

A clawing at my skin

An irrelevant feeling to where I am

An insufferable pain...

Surging forever inwards

Cowering stagnant

Bark starts to peel

Cast from the light

Obscuring what's real

Sitting helpless

Until we all die

As warm veins release

I've cured the rot in my mind

I've reached out before and only felt the coldness of entropy

Through colorless days of the modern age, only guided by apathy

If the patterns are ingrained in us, why should I even try?

Knowing tomorrow I'll feel even worse, I am no longer afraid to die

Carried by the current,

Flowing forever, dragged at the bottom

Staring at the surface

Prefer the coldness to fighting for warmth

Stuck eternally digging

For the layer of rock that we all stand upon

Broken from endless battles

Now this constant pain is all that i know

The more I live, the more I want to die

The more I live, the more I want to die

Crushing my mind

Failing inside

Clawing through rocks with nothing to find

Feeling separate

From where I reside

Watching the seasons pass by, until our demise

A loss of gratitude

Fearing death, wasting life

A cold gaze to the ground

Feeling trapped, burning inside

Detesting every moment

Clenching my fists, waiting in silence

Resonating every second

What isn't dead, is waiting to die
