The Serenity of Hopelessness

Disappearing
Fading out
Erase the contents of my mouth
Stiff and cold
Potential stales
Time slips by
A blank stare

What was once a part of me
I let it go I set it free
Hopelessness can be so serene
Not looking for forgiveness
Don't need a test to tell me how to live
Not seeking your acceptance
Let me go

Don't try to lift me into your light
I will go blind
I will go blind
Don't try to tell me I'm not alright
I will decide
You can't decide
For myself
Or anyone else
Learn your place and know it well
See what you need to believe me to be
But just know I am finally free

The serenity of hopelessness
The final rest
An infinite mirror
Of memories

Freed from your ideas of me
I'm shaping my own beliefs
No longer imprisoned by meaning
Faith is such a stubborn disease
But one day you'll see you can't
Save me

A continuous stripping of my brain
Numbing pain
Smothering my rage
Silencing my screams
Distorting reality
What would you say if I threw it all away
Would you feed me with your shame
Would I become a disgrace

Don't try to lift me into your light
I will go blind
I will go blind
Don't try to tell me I'm not alright
I will decide
You can't decide
For myself
Or anyone else
Learn your place and know it well
See what you need to believe me to be
But just know I am finally free

Will go blind
Don't try to lift me into your light
I will go blind
I will go blind
Don't try to tell me I'm not alright
I will decide
I will decide
Don't try to lift me into your light
I will go blind
I will go blind
Don't try to tell me I'm not alright
I will decide
I will decide
(You can't save me)
