Routine of Terror

The walls of despair hides in the dark
Who can phantom the blood guilt of shame?
One moment there is a smile but the night ends in grief

The nightmare of uncertainty rests in the heart of potential 
The mind is captured by the caterwaul of regret 
Voices refuse to cease due to the human condition 

How can one escape from this voracious world?
She slanders her own name
Individualism screams for liberty 
Yet, we're trapped by our own understanding
