Reliving a Living Nightmare
Slowly falling backwards in fast forward, slipping quickly in rewind
Everything has been said and done , envy and jealousy orchestrates the emptiness of your mind
A futile release riddled with confusing censored free speech gone blind with cold silence
Seemingly progression can't be made without the hunger for some violence
All elements of daily routines become stagnant and replicated
Sadly duplicated , strung out half dead, disappointed to be constantly reinstated
To a lifeless life , crossed crushed and annihilated
Black and white, wrong and right, fight or flight no end in sight
The never ending need for worthless fortune and fame, your just another piece in this worthless game
We numbly stagger deeper past the feelings and the pain
Memories haunting hunting onward in confined collective consciousness
Erased from my dreams exploring fears of the emptiness , I obsess over the obvious.
I confess, I could care less , if you would only be honest with yourself, there would be no need to ever second guess.
We wouldn't have to point fingers and assign blame
We wouldn't have to feel such worthlessness.
So easy to be erased from the scene by the smiling unseen , forever reliving a living nightmare
Nothing has ever been what it seems.
Proof that even souls can be bought with a half off coupon to your hopeless hopes and disappointing unfulfilled dreams.
