"Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That for all they care, I can go to hell"***
Its a twisting path
that brings me here
and one of many darknesses
roadsigns all have question marks
(as if i should know the answer)
and
they
torment
me
Its a battle
more than a search
and its mostly in my head
"just accept it"
a thousand voices echo
from empty jars of apathy
but i spit back at them
"why would i resign myself
to unanswered questions
when to resign is just to die
and go on dying"
a restless mind
is a dangerous
insomniac
searching for the pillow
that brings sleep
I'm keeping madness in.
