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
