Evanescence

There's a pounding in my head
My feet feel as heavy as lead
There's no point in explaining 
I just keep on contemplating... complaining...

This throbbing in my heart 
Might just tear me apart
This horrid feeling in my stomach
Might be butterflies, fluttering in a pack...
There's quite a few skills and strengths that I lack 

Just allow me to see right through the pain
Bite the bullet and catch the midnight train 
It might be because I'm going crazy already 
It might be because I don't feel at all ready 

I'm in awe as you decide to leave me behind 
I'm disappointed in you and you don't care obviously 
I guess you don't notice me in shame - you don't mind 
I'll just be happy and mask this hurt inside I see 

I feel horrified by your heartless decisions 
I'm still able to accomplish my missions
My ambition has faded away along with my confidence
I'm still waiting patiently for this sweet deliverance from evanescence

I'm disappearing...I'm vanishing...
You're so not endearing...in agony, diminishing...
I'm enduring this tribulation 
Feeling sudden grand sensation
Brewing away the muse of lamentation
Pushing away the feelings of frustration
