Analysis of Salvation



Loosing time, forgetting my place
Battling my mind, a crazy head case

Stuck in a room, with no lock in place
Impending doom, I see a body no face  

To the public eye, sweet as can be
Screaming inside, can they not see

Words become demons, struggling for life
Gasps of breath leaving, succumbing to the fight

Saying goodby, to the public eye
Fighting to survive, no words left inside

Finding my voice, my only goal
It's not a choice, I must mend my soul

Living this life has been anything but an adventure
Full of nightmares and demons and I'm at the center

Utterly alone full of pain left with only questions
These tears do not portray the state of my regression

Speaking with depression is as inherent as aggression
You will never know the extension of my suppression

Gaping wounds by family and foe, help cannot exist
So, I'll continue to hide from my shambles and rips

Help has only been met with failure and frustration
Loosing grip on reality death may be my salvation

My heart lonely roaming lost naked to expression
Defeated and exhausted, this is my final confession
