Broken Orbit

Never enough to give me life Money, a future and a wife Even the beauty of the world Isn’t enough to save myself Drifting and lonely ‘til the end Honest reflection of this hell Always I wanted to deny That I could not save my shattered mind Never connected to this earth Always in pain for what it’s worth Even your twisted little smile Was too far a distance to redial Bring me a reason and a soul My mimicry needs to be made whole I just can not do this on my own A reason evades this broken drone Just give me compassion and the right To get through this horror, let me fight Instead you will burden me with loss Because I just can not meet your costs Always once more, and once again The world I reject will do the same I can not do this all alone But this is all I’ve ever known
