They say time heals all wounds,

But lingering fragments pierce the skin

Unless you tear them out

They say you have to keep up,

But when struggling is futile

It will crush you

I want to run but I can’t move

I am tired but I cannot… I cannot sleep

You opened the box, you needed to know

Now it pours out like entrails from a slit gut

You can’t stop the bleeding, you‘re drowning in blood

Broken down and paralyzed, trapped in a cage of a troubled mind

Emotions once free to roam

Now drag me down suffocating my soul

An anxious voice takes hold of me

A dark whisper crushing my desires

I’m terrified of silence, longing for rest

Yet the calm i obtain is nothing but a draining illusion

Reclaimed by dusk, spiraling ever downwards

A physical fear, ceaseless disquietude follows my every step

Searching for love, desperate for an embrace

It drags and drags and drags me

You offered me light but the grip of anxiety pulls me into darkness

Will you hold me? Will you catch me?

Hold me! Catch me!

It ist the burden I carry

My tribulation

My own meaningless war

I never had the time to prepare for
