Plunging from zenith Spiraling ever so downward Oh, why do I hold on to this dismal feeling? Descending ever so downward I feel lost Reaching out through the dark Hoping for answers gone Every moment in ash The wick has burnt away There were moments burning bright that I hold on to tightly Now I stay awake and gnaw my wounds more than nightly And I can't see what's illuminated right in front of me With every shaky breath I lay awake in melancholy I lay in my dismay Another love now lost so pathetically Lacking the will to push Too weak to strive, to reach out for the light I've traced my tracks through the sands To find out where it all began, And if I could relive those times I would have burned brightly Resonating In a state of disillusion I'm constantly reaching for Validation and evaluation to create a conclusion Desperation This never ending desire to know where I'm standing and I'm not Forgetting the moments that I have been feeling cast down to this Abyss to be dismissed of all my bliss And I, to my core know that I can be more Than this and I try to keep my soul So alive, but I dive ever so downward Stifling the call of my heart These shadows are draining me of my spark Choices I've made now tear me apart This mountain of mistakes I've made from the Start has ever diminished my senses and spirit I sew my eyes shut, for the dark I revere it Bathed in failure I'm so full of missing pieces As I lay in my dismay I now have found, I've lost my way No conviction behind my every word No restriction to habits I've deemed so absurd I can't feel I don't know what is real anymore, and to my dying core I'm lost inside an eternal war
