Shellshocked and Shattered

Shellshocked and shattered

I'm forlorn and battered

With a feeling of longing

But no place to belong in

 

Don't look at me needily

Cus I crave for a needle in me

Falling so peacefully

As the anger builds inside of me

 

In a world of sobriety

I'm drunk on anxiety

As time plays its trick again

Moving slow and then quickening

 

This world has taken hold

Of a heart that's grown cold

I'm forlorn and battered

And shellshocked and shattered
