Pathless

I'm always standing in my own way And drifting further down with every passing day If all we are is the substance of thought I'd let it slip into decay, throw it all away So selfishly hoarding energy I won't use So needlessly blaming my own mistakes on abuse The walls are closing in Like a serpent consuming itself I'm where I've been I keep spiraling down into my own cyclical hell I'm living in dysfunction It's all I have, it's all I am Give up Just take up your loss and let go You're in the throes of oblivion Don't look for advice, they don't know Don't let it show, push it all down Just take up your loss I told you they don't care That's why no one's there So selfishly hoarding energy I won't use So needlessly blaming my own mistakes on abuse The walls are closing in I held a candle to memory I'm where I've been And I watched it burn away all that was left of me The walls are closing in And there's no way forward
