Dispossession

Lost in a valley of smoke,

I lose sight of those I love.

I can't live in this dream,

Wandering the world a lost soul.

A shell of a man frozen in a toxic trance.

Unfamiliar reflections stare at me,

These eyes are not my own.

Running from my demons in this endless valley.

Show me the way because I no longer know right from wrong.

I know what has to be done.

The smoke will settle,

The demons will come and I will be torn apart.

Exposing my weakness, the world will see what I never fucking wanted.

As I stare in your face,

Soaked in disgrace,

What is the price?

A judgement of life,

I cry out in this dispossession.

Exposing my weakness,

The world will see what I never fucking wanted.

They crowd around me,

Here to take their share of my mind;

I can no longer muster the strength to face them alone all on my own.

They whisper echoes in unknown tongues,

I refuse to absorb their toxic words.

I've forgotten how to love,

Searching behind locked doors in my mind.

Cast aside the fear of reality and face the fucking world.
