Fracture

Every synapse fires in acceptance of a distant truth
My concept of self, pulled out at the roots
A frail voice inside my mind
Begs for release
Twisting inside of me

The smallest fractures in my body lead to collapse
Falter underneath the impact of careless steps
Pieces of my life defined by loss and regret
Returning moments and recurring thoughts

In a twist of fate
Whispers grow
And cut their way out of my skull
Threatened by the memories
Of who I used to be
I search inside myself
And find an empty space
Where peace should rest
Trapped in a dream
I'd give anything to forget

I count the days as they pass
Retreated from the coldest stares
Self descending as I turn my back
Consuming any light

I'm not afraid to die
I've lost my will to fight

In a twist of fate
Whispers grow
And cut their way out of my skull
Threatened by the memories
Of who I used to be
I search inside myself
And find an empty space
Where peace should rest
Trapped in a dream
I'd give anything to forget
