Broken By Life

Resonance of emptiness 
Possibilities exists 
Beneath these chains 
Aching for release 
Threatening silence 
Broken by life 
Silently stalking your psyche 
You see things in this twisted light 
Which represents society 
Of uncertainty 
Which effects the very worst of me 
With my spirit up and my mind at ease 
An unease came about me 
Ending words in a flawed clinche' 
Bouncing across dreams 
Thinking my breathing would cease 
This indistinct mask that cannot conceal 
Endless weaving from the wheel 
Everything weighs on me 
Trapped endlessly, 
To a life lived in secrecy 
I crawl upon 
The burning hells of my memories...
