Decompression

I’m drained,

Battery’s dead,

Nothing left in the tank,

For me

Gasoline,

Broken matchsticks,

Candle burnt from both ends,

Snuffed out

I’ve tried,

To feel more alive

But I gave myself

To fools

I’ve crossed

Every bridge

So forgive me

If I’ve lost myself

Is it so bad?

That I hope the worst for the world

Fighting a war from my chair

Lighting a fire to fall asleep

Well everything ends anyway

Chasing a dream out of grasp

Losing all sense of control

All my lines faded and blurred

I’m better off with both eyes closed

Every station a curse

All the tunnels unending

Slowly stripped away

To my core

And I fall

I’m falling so far from myself

Tell me why -

Is it so bad?

That I hope the worst for the world

Fighting a war from my chair

Lighting a fire to fall asleep

Well everything ends anyway

Chasing a dream out of grasp

Losing all sense of control

All my lines faded and blurred

I’m better off with both eyes closed

Take a while and

Decompress and

Fake a smile,

You’ll get no rest

Is it so bad?

That I hope the worst for the world

Fighting a war from my chair

Lighting a fire to fall asleep

Well everything ends anyway

Chasing a dream out of grasp

Losing all sense of control

All my lines faded and blurred

I’m better off with both eyes closed
