Desperately, I want to scream myself awake
knowing this simple act is not possible
And there is numbness;
bitter, cold-hearted, unimaginable numbness
It squares off in my heart, and bleeds
It bleeds through every vain, and paralyzes
I am unaware
And even obliviously, my heart still beats
with it, unleashes an even more terrifying emotion
Pain, so much, that it radiates throughout my demeanor
It takes hold of my body
And now, only physically do I exist
there is complete and utter despair
Every breath is a tortured neccessity
to keep living, and unwillingly I do
You could ask why, but reasoning goes beyond comprehension
My brain will not function
and my heart is unable to feel
So I leave myself to the only real hope
A buzzing numbess, something to drown myself in
