Meaning

The head becomes heavy every now and then 
With pain
With narcissism
With anger

The mind is conflicting place
Sometimes empty
Others chaotic 
Often lacking a sense of purpose

An escape 
From the heavy head and conflicting mind 
Is a temporary death 
A moment of nothingness

Awaken those
Who have the will 
And the strength
To lift this weight 

Carry on with life 
Oh life, meaningless life 
Pawns of this life 
Moved back and forth

By that power 
Believed in by some
To give this meaningless life
