Complacency

How can I focus

On the life I no longer see?

It pains me in knowing

That when we leave it just keeps going

I prayed until my hands would ache

There's nothing left to say

Simply dissipate in misery

Maybe in another life

There's nothing left say

Simply dissipate for an eternity

I spend my nights

Lying awake in starlight

Neglecting familiar pain

The weight is heavy

Searching aimlessly

For complacency

How can I focus

On the life I no longer see?

It pains me in knowing

That when we leave it just keeps going

I prayed until my hands would ache

There's nothing left to say

Simply dissipate in misery

It's time to get back

It's time to face reality

Keep treading water till I drown

The weight is deafening to the third degree

I spend my nights

Lying awake in starlight

Neglecting familiar pain

The weight is heavy

Searching aimlessly

For complacency

I spend my nights

Leaving my pain unspoken

Avoiding your answers

Your warmth of protection

Trading vacancy for complacency
