• The ground is crumbling at my feet,
    and I plummet into a broken state of mind.
    Where all that was, was never meant to be,
    and dreams are our only escape.

    A simple sky,
    clouded by the things I never should of done.
    The sun beats down,
    blinding the near future.

    Gone are those days,
    where the air smelled of promise.
    The rain would wash away my thoughts,
    my voice,
    my everything.
    Until there was nothing left.

    A worn out smile,
    a beat down existence.
    I've failed you, the one in the mirror,
    please have mercy on me.

    Surrounded by the same four walls.
    It's only human I yearn for escape.
    Captive to my own state,
    locked in by the emotions within.

    The simply ringing of the phone,
    is enough to make me live for a moment.
    The voice I hear,
    Makes the beating in my chest bearable.
