Dulled
Dulled, not sharp enough to cut through calloused skin
Faded and used, bruised from falling too many times
Apathetic reactions, no need for emotional value
Dried of tears and fears, lack of feeling is always the worst fate
Relapsed on sympathy for myself and filling back full of hatred
At least feeling can return growing wings without the ability to fly
So weep for a world so cold and dark, weep for forsaken souls
There was never room for hope it was merely a narcissistic guise
How can anyone find a home along these winding streets
Covered in black water and sleet, frozen heart barely able to beat
Fishing without a pole only leaves these hands to hold disgrace
Hungry people starve for attention forgetting to learn to see
Filthy and desolate is where we lay our heads
Fighting thought until the very end
When whispers are louder than shouts
The living envy the dead
