The Insignificant Me



Against thy will this life that I feel really just does not matter
Direct defense the pressures immense losing what's already lost
The voices, silent word, it's all absurd, all this continual chatter

Actions won't define and really not mine abandoning all self control
The loser, the winner, the forever beginner unable to afford the cost
Breaking flat broke, my words will choke crawling back into my hole

Nothing to share, caution beware, don't believe all that you hear
Left all alone behind an unturned stone at glass where it was tossed
Invisible to touch, overwhelming too much, I think the end is finally near...
