Inertia

Mental genocide
I've been reaching out
But the shadows drag me down
Like a shroud, they suffocate all in relentless doubt
We all have a cross to bear
But the weight of this burden is far too much to compare
Close my eyes and begin to drift away
Far away from aversion that had led me astray

I've drowned in dismay
I've drowned in dismay
All on my own, I threw it all away
On my own

I watch from the other side of the glass
Where I stare and waste away in time that has passed
All thoughts wеre unsupported
Dreams rеduced to smoke
A life deemed unimportant
So turn away and go as I choke

Realize this could end in a moment
But I have been void of choice
There's no life in this prison
But to succumb to these walls

We are not the same
You and I
By will and drive
I will be defined
We are not the same
You and I
By will and drive
I will be
I will be defined

This life is a test
One I'll let play out in jest
For it has cost the price of all my self-respect
I disconnect
Disconnect all the parts that kept this intact

Pray for a soul to keep while I beg for inner peace
Selfishness has stripped from me the gift of eternal sleep

Mental genocide
We are not the same
You and I
