Desolation

I lie here in this damned dirt ditch Tossed aside to rot alone The lights are dark, the world is spinning The voices inside tell me to hide I search for someone, anything Something to occupy my time No trace nor sign of any life The voices inside tell me to hide Hide, yes, but from what? There’s nothing to hide from Everything is gone The voices inside tell me to hide Bodies litter the streets with death Ruins of skyscrapers crumble within There’s nothing to hide from The voices inside tell me to hide I’m all alone on this vacant Earth Bombs and bullets brought a swift end Like a candle, we were snuffed out The voices inside tell me to hide Hide from WHAT? I see no one, no soul, no person No life, no hope, all death The voices inside tell me to hide I bang my head against the ground There’s nothing to hide from There’s nothing to hide from The voices inside tell me to hide I stand up and scream Echoing around the globe There’s nothing to hide from The voices inside tell me to hide What will I do, what will I do? To make it stop, I must hide But from who, from what, from where? The voices inside tell me to hide I climb a rickety, jagged building Twisted metal racking the air I will climb to the top of this tower The voices inside tell me to hide I got to the top, and gazed below No people, no animals, no vegetation in sight How will I survive in this lonesome world The voices inside tell me to- Wait I got it I’m supposed to hide from myself In this desolate world I hold my arms out in a cross formation Maybe they’re up there in the clouds Or maybe down there under the dirt I step off the building and begin to fall The voice Inside Tell me To die
