A Phase

I wait for days to feel the empty stages Wait for days to know that nothing comes There are no more lies now as I lose what rages But standing here can only last so long And to know I see what you can only dream of To know what comes whatever I will do But standing here I know the only path now I’ve come through my past and now I must go on These dark desires can only last so long now If I walk away I know that they’ll be gone Seeing nothing whatever I must face here I’m seeing something where I can belong The times I’ve seen death as I talk amongst it Times I’ve breathed in what I know are lies But crimes against me involve my own partaking I’m now through the asphalt and I realise To travel forward into what’s called nothing To travel out and see what’s all too clear Nothing lies as I can only feel now No deceit as I must be here With confusion waiting for my every turn I turn the corner and I’m met with fear With this circular motion I can only sigh now The circle meets me as I’m insincere And I throw my anger out with such aggression Tear it up as I can only die Take some lives down as I lose what matters Taking down with me what can only lie The self-destruction now has lead me forward To be happy I know I must stay true Lies will lead me in to old regressions Lies I know can never get me through
