Storm

Crossing dimensions
Leaving it all behind
Would be a whole lot easier
If I could get out of my mind
The walls I've built and fortified
Trapping consciousness inside
Fearful of change
And of complacency
Fearful of the outside
Terrified to fail myself
And all those that surround me
I will forever walk this thin line
Waiting for an answer that I'll never Find
Collapsing inward like a black hole
We are just the universe trying to Understand itself
To put to rest the void of uncertainty
While the abyss reaches out
It's pulling me
Down
My eyes can't adjust to the emptiness
Of everything and nothing all at once
I can't see the forest through the trees
I never could, I refuse to move
An ocean of my past ruptures through The barrier
The insurmountable scale combined with the gravity
Of something meaning nothing that's Grown a mind of its own
A story I've told over and over again And sung myself to sleep with
I wish I could just wake up
I wish I could just wake up
Forever entwined in a perfect storm of
Inadequacy and doubt that will kill me
If I can't wake up from this nightmare
I put myself in
I put myself to sleep in this routine
I watch my life slip between my hands
A father, a partner, a broken man
I'm at war with myself
Everyone around me are the casualties
My selfishness dwells just beneath the Surface
Something I've fostered but could Never see
Why hold up a monument
When it was never complete
I wear a mask, a showcase of a fake Identity
I dig deep only to find myself
Empty and cold
I am empty and cold
