Once Again
I find peace in darkness,
But can never sleep,
My head rings with the songs of the damned,
A lost path,
I'm blind.
Maybe it will get better,
Maybe I will get rest tonight,
Oh but no,
Oh no,
Not tonight,
I've just been injected with more anxiety.
An endless cycle of regret,
carelessness,
and dismissiveness.
And I blame myself fully,
I am the cause,
But I cannot stop this,
This madness that seeks me,
In the morning I must only pretend,
Durning the day I must sleep,
but cannot,
In the evening the cycle begins again.
My energy is renewed.
