Dance With Death

Will my words ever convey
The depths of these emotions
If you wanna find my heart
Look at the bottom of the ocean

Emptiness grabs ahold of me
A longing feeling to just feel anything
Autopilot is an understatement
I'm just drifting with the wind

Just like a waltz
These thoughts danced in my head
Self-fulfilling prophecies
Leading me closer to death
Taunting the void with the end as my wish
I held onto a noose
To keep from falling in

The darkness sways effervescently
Overtaken by these memories
When will things change
Will I get better
I bite my tongue
To block out the pain

Contemplating
The worth of my footprints
Against the consequence
Of letting it all
End here

I feel so alone
I feel so alone

Just like a day dream
More like a nightmare consuming me
Everyday
I can feel it
Ticking on the edge of my skull

Just like a waltz
These thoughts danced in my head
Self-fulfilling prophecies
Leading me closer to death
Taunting the void with the end as my wish
I held onto a noose
To keep from falling in

Somewhere
Beyond this pain
Blurry visions still remain
Of a time
Before
Today
Maybe
It'll get better
One day
I can't remain
This way
I can not persist
With the burdens of my past
Gripping
Around
My neck
