Fracture

Every synapse fires in acceptance of a distant truth My concept of self, pulled out at the roots A frail voice inside my mind Begs for release Twisting inside of me The smallest fractures in my body lead to collapse Falter underneath the impact of careless steps Pieces of my life defined by loss and regret Returning moments and recurring thoughts In a twist of fate Whispers grow And cut their way out of my skull Threatened by the memories Of who I used to be I search inside myself And find an empty space Where peace should rest Trapped in a dream I’d give anything to forget I count the days as they pass Retreated from the coldest stares Self descending as I turn my back Consuming any light I’m not afraid to die I’ve lost my will to fight In a twist of fate Whispers grow And cut their way out of my skull Threatened by the memories Of who I used to be I search inside myself And find an empty space Where peace should rest Trapped in a dream I’d give anything to forget
