I’m at a loss
Uninspired, automatic
Devoid of cause
An effort measured in your stomach
I’m at a loss
Undesired, inefficient
Avoiding all
An effort measured in your stomach
Accomplishment is fruitless
Process, purpose, progress, regress
Pour your effort into nothing
Aimless arrow sailing endless
I’m at a loss
Uninspired, automatic
Devoid of cause
An effort measured in your stomach
I’m at a loss
Undesired, inefficient
Avoiding all
An effort measured in your stomach
Accomplishment is fruitless
Process purpose, progress, regress
Pour your effort into nothing
Aimless arrow sailing endless

Shame

I took a walk around the corners of the room
It felt so familiar
And traced your image from the wall down to the floor
I felt a vacancy
I’ve been writing
And I’ve been drinking too much
And I’ve been thinking about you
The shame follows you
Any time you leave the room
Yet I still follow you
I hope you feel my presence
I’ve been writing
And I’ve been drinking too much
And I’ve been thinking about you
And into me, I’m falling
I’ve been dreaming of you
Reaching out to nothing
Vacant space
And into me, I’m falling
I’ve been dreaming of you
I’m breaking down, they see it
Can’t keep pace
Now every morning there’s a moment I savor
Between my dreams and consciousness
Where I can almost hear you and feel you
I live within the seconds I can’t grasp
Where you almost feel real
And into me, I’m falling
I’ve been dreaming of you
Reaching out to nothing
Vacant space
And into me, I’m falling
I’ve been dreaming of you
I’m breaking down, they see it
Can’t keep pace

Harm

I’m bending at the break
I’m finding comfort in abuse
Display my canvas paint my skin with hate
It’s palpable
The pain and loathing that I feel
Experience dilutes and dulls the ache
I greet it
Break the skin to feel
The anecdotes have failed to stave the urge
Never enough
The well is bottomless
I’m pruning limbs until there’s nothing left
This is a process of attrition
Bending at the break
Circling the drain
Spinning out, embracing harm, and giving in
Break the skin to feel
The anecdotes have failed to stave the urge
Never enough
The well is bottomless
I’m pruning limbs until there’s nothing left i’ve worn the trunk down to the root
It dulls the ache
The acceptance of the lot
Display my canvas paint my skin with hate
It’s palpable
The loathing that I feel
Experience dilutes and dulls the pain
I greet it
It dulls the ache
The acceptance of the lot
Display my canvas paint my skin with hate
It’s palpable
The loathing that I feel
Experience dilutes and dulls the pain
It dulls the ache

Purpose

Just say it all, again I’m lost for words
I’m searching for a deeper meaning in it
I’m poised to fall, the scaffolding is bent
Integrity is fleeting, failing, bleeding
I say it once again but do I think it’s true
I fail to see it through your eyes
This purpose proves itself impossible to move
A pain I cannot seem to hide
Just say it all, again I’m lost for words
I’m searching for a deeper meaning in it
I’m poised to fall, the scaffolding is bent
Integrity is fleeting, failing, bleeding
I say it once again but do I think it’s true
I fail to see it through your eyes
This purpose proves itself impossible to move
A pain I cannot seem to hide
Just say what you want me to be
I’ll adjust while I’m bleeding
Your syntax flows effortlessly
Who am I to complete it
Just say what you want me to be
I’ll adjust while I’m bleeding
Yet nothing is sacred to me
Who am I to compete with
Just take it all you said you would and leave me longing for it
Take it all you said you would and watch me writhe without it
Take it all you said you would and leave me stranded in it
Take it all you said you would and leave me drowning in it
