Exit (Inward)
Exit.
I'm sitting
In the waiting room
To find out how the story ends
But I already know the ending
I'm looking at the exit sign
It tempts me
I'm so sick of waiting
I have wasted my days
Under the heaviness of my failures
I look towards the exit
I'm haunted by a familiar ghost
The ghost haunts my thoughts and turns them to truths.
Misery speaks to me
Look into the mirror to find a man
But all I see is a failure.
Staring back
There will be no pain if I dream forever.
Disappear into an endless dream.
Nothing feels like a dream
When reality is a nightmare.
With a familiar ghost
In a crowded room I felt alone
I make the plans to leave
Misery speaks to me.
I look towards the exit
Fear keeps the dream just out of reach
I've dug my grave with my pain
Now fucking let me leave
The misery takes hold
And I lose the strength to speak
The sickness erodes me
I've lost the words
The sadness stole them from
my throat
For the rest of my days
Sadness is all I'll ever know.
Through a plastic gaze
I can see the dream
There's nothing left for me here.
I want to disappear
I suffocate
Breaths slow
My vision begins to fade
The exit just out of reach
I turn the other way.
Why did I choose to stay?
