To move beyond the veil
Beyond the dull stale air
Invading my lungs
A way out
That is what I dream.
To not feel so trapped
& be whole again.
Give me something to believe.
That I will transcend
There is a meaning to all this
I will wake up
& I talk to God
But the sky is empty
It always was it always will be
What was is now & what is now isn't real & now is never coming
I face this end with no fear of dying
But instead terrified that I'll remain alive
Everything's moving too fast & I can't watch
It makes my head spin
Fall apart & get back up,
But a little more broken each time.
A little more blood spilled, a little more self respect gone
& I have to ask
When does it stop?
I have to know,
Will it stop?
I need to know
Can I make it out alive
Or have I fallen too hard, too far
The veil descends
& it will never end.
Escape means losing everything
& I already am nothing
I play no role in this grand design
I can only watch,
& dream of the other side...
