I feel like the dead
You will never understand
This pain that hides inside
My heart is never full
A fraction of a man
Stuck in this bitter life
And sinking in the sand
This is my prison cell
Trapped in the alleys of my mind
A shadow of the man I was
I can’t even breathe
I face the sun and wonder
Why I am so cold
And if I die tomorrow
This world won’t shed a tear
Walking indifference
Rejected life
A parasite that feeds off my soul
I beg for mercy
Blackest thoughts cloud my head
As I forget what it’s like to be alive
I feel nothing
Facing walls of silence
And left without a scream
Forced to live this existence alone
I feel like the dead
My heart is never full
This is my prison cell
I can’t even breathe
Beyond my shallow grave
Lies a plane of deception
I look at the ashes
Of my self-inflicted ruination
And sift through the charred remains
I find my only companion
Is the emptiness I feel within
The ghosted image of a broken past
Remains embedded
Trapped bound and shackled
In a chasm of regret
Beyond my shallow grave
Lies a plane of deception
I find my only companion within
