Inertia

Mental genocide I've been reaching out, but the shadows drag me down Like a shroud, they suffocate all in relentless doubt We all have a cross to bear, But the weight of this burden is far too much to compare Close my eyes, and begin to drift away Far away from aversion, that had lead me astray I've drowned in dismay I've drowned in dismay All on my own, I threw it all away On my own I watch from the other side of the glass Where I stare and waste away in time that has passed All thoughts were unsupported Dreams reduced to smoke A life deemed unimportant So turn away and go as I choke Realize this could end in a moment But I have been void of choice There's no life in this prison, but to succumb to these walls We are not the same, you and I By will and drive, I will be defined We are not the same, you and I By will and drive, I will be, I will be defined This life is a test One I'll let play out in jest For it has cost the price of all my self-respect I disconnect Disconnect all the parts that kept this in tact Pray for a soul to keep while I beg for inner peace Selfishness has stripped from me, the gift of eternal sleep Mental genocide We are not the same, you and I
