Perception At Its Best

Some sullen sense of solitude:
Perception at its best
The brain I have is cold and shrewd
My rationale: depressed

I search for what I never felt
I'm ripping at the seams
Amidst the heat, my heart will melt
Then, give up on my dreams

I find myself imagine less
Pretending I am fine
Yet, all I bear had borne duress
For, all the blame is mine

What am I now but flesh and bone?
Uneager to pretend
My heart still sings their songs alone
What wasted time they spend...
