The soothing sound of the midnight air doesn't seem to keep him company anymore.
There's no calming before the storm.
It's just a whirlwind effect,
Built up from a life of deceit and neglect.
"Who have I become?"
"I'm dead in my own eyes."
Looking towards the sky for what feel like the last time.
With all this weight on his chest,
He squeezes out lines in between breaths.
A heart of gold but a hate for his city.
His struggles came in waves and ripped apart the progress he made.
Feeling empty, deflated, and restless,
There's no sense in trying when he's already planned out the end.
The last months have consisted of many nights,
Locked in his room,
Writing, wishing, praying and hoping for all this to stop.
Going over the lessons his father taught,
Has become his cancer and his biggest downfall.
"I have consumed myself with everything I left behind."
These constant headaches and mood changes are poisoning my fucking mind.
"I've consumed myself with countless thoughts of never waking up."
This fear of heights don't seem so bad when I'm always looking down.
He's made his way to the floor,
Shaken up and shutting down.
He's here to rot forevermore,
With the voice inside his head,
Controlling every move he makes.
The past keeps on calling.
No future is left in sight,
"There's no use in trying!"
"I wish."
He wishes.
"I wish you could see the Hell you've unleashed."
He's losing his friends.
"I'm losing my mind."
He'll swallow his pills.
"I'm still not convinced that this will ever end."
A heart of gold but a hate for his city.
His struggles came in waves and ripped apart the progress he made.
Feeling empty, deflated, and restless,
There's no sense in trying when he's already planned out the end.
So many words that need to be spoken,
But what can I say when my mind is still broken?
"Just let it out, just let it out!"
Forgive me, for my mind has slipped.
The devil's inside me I'm losing my grip.
He's lashing out, he's lashing out on me.
You'll never know,
You'll never feel.
The scars on my back will never heal
