Holographically Born Numb

When the simplest solution is build another bridge to burn , corner yourself with no salvation and nowhere left to turn   Inevitably both sides seem to get hurt ,  half filled caskets with mouths caked with bitter dirt The grass is never greener between the heavens and the earth Constantly awake dreaming in the haze of the past , breathing life from empty bottles and self labeled an outcast Innocence will slowly start to make no sense when indifference becomes insignificance Purposely we trip over these silent walking words , an unlikely agent of my own chaos, subtly I'm usually unnerved All I can do is pitifully essentially observe . The world as it is , the world as it were. And as it will be , as abnormally As this ongoing beautiful insanity Such a time to be alive just to watch it slowly die Just to write this concoction of drug fueled lullabies I can't help but smile and release a sigh as I conjure up fabrication and more lies  Useless pieces of this useless puzzle , part of the confusion of the alibi This web of self guilt has silently become my life. Why this sudden selfishness , I didn't used to be like this , what's the point ? A memo that i must have missed Life shoots blindly , quickly, and yet so obvious We continue with our ignorance and obliviousness Inevitable seconds tick by , like a knife to the heart , a razor to the wrist, and a bloody fist to the sky. Every end is necessary , to release the weight we never had to carry This little game of life can be lived a little less than ordinary.
