Crossroads

Songs

All these thoughts floating through my head

Whispers lead me towards death

Different distorted voices pleading for control

I haven't a moment or two to spare

I don't care if I sell my soul

 

We've been pleading for respite

For this plague in our minds

Vision's losing focus

It's the pain that broke us

 

So many thoughts

But no words come out

Overwhelmed inside

Drowning in a drought

Murky seas clotted with blood

Dragged under by waves of doubt

Overwhelmed inside

Drowning in a drought

 

Why can't these walls that are

Closing in

Collapse instead

And end my suffering?

 

Quickly now

Before I beat the clock

Jump the gun

Before my time is up

 

Why can't I see the light at the end of the road?

I'm screaming for a quick salvation as my body erodes

 

Every time I wake I'm faced with another horror

My dream state isn't any better

Fuck

It's always one or the other

I'm sick of these goddamned mirrors

 

We've been pleading for respite

For this plague in our minds

Vision's losing focus

It's the pain that broke us

 

So many thoughts

But no words come out

Overwhelmed inside

Drowning in a drought

Murky seas clotted with blood

Dragged under by waves of doubt

Overwhelmed inside

Drowning in a drought

I know too well, to be

I know too well, to be desperate for salvation; pleading for an end or a miracle. The overwhelming process of thinking. I liked this and the misery I felt reading it.


**if it's an eye for an eye, then we'll all go blind.**

Thank you, this one was about

Thank you, this one was about traffic or writer's block with a dark twist. The emotions I felt while driving was half of this one and writer's block the other half :)

Horrors/Mirrors

I like your use of opposites. It is a dirge- replete with a refrain. A nice lyric for our soul searched times.  -Stella-
