Intolerable Ignorance
Completely consumed by the sound
of my screaming,
I keep hoping to wake up from this
nightmare I'm dreaming.
Crazy thoughts run through my mind,
visions of the possessions I never can
find.
I lie awake at night with tears in my
eyes,
trying to get over a life full of lies.
I find myself wanting to fix things that
aren't even broken,
and every word I speak has already
been spoken.
I don't understand how I got lost for
so long,
I was looking for the other side but I
guess it was gone.
I tried to eliminate the illusion that
you put in my brain,
but in the end I'm still the one dealing
with the pain.
My soul cries out from deep down
inside,
It's getting tired of denying these
thoughts of suicide.
I feel like my life doesn't make sense,
and it's caused by my own intolerable
ignorance.
