I had to stop caring.
Because there is no bearing.
When my feelings start searing.

The voices I'm hearing inside this cage.
They're constantly swearing in a rage.
On the frontlines smearing each page.
In the reserves comparing the price paid.

The echoes of hell.
Crawl through my mind.
A ferocious spell.
Gnaws at my insides.

The shadows of the past.
Entrap my heart.
It's a banquet to last.
Feasting in the dark.

I'm running out of air inside of this bubble.
Life isn't fair with all of its troubles.
My chest hurts and i can't breath, when I'm laying on the earth without knowing what I need.

There's a parasite swimming inside of my blood.
It's devoured me of all of life's love.
