The Nameless Things In Life
The feeling of being empty
Like a car with no gas
Life without purpose
Life with no meaning
The Nameless things in life
What is love?
I never heard of such a thing
My heart longs for something that I don’t know the name
Of all the things in life, the thing I like is pain
The pain of having friends who don’t care
The pain of only having one person to rely on in the world
The pain of hurting
The pain of stress
The pain of being alone
The Nameless things in life
No meaning
No use
Life itself is kicking you in the butt
The world went bad
But our lives go on
The Nameless things in life
Help me
I feel like I’m drowning
I can’t swim because of the weight I carry
All the salt getting into my scars
It burns me and it’s getting harder to breathe down here underwater
Are you going to help me
Or do I have to help myself like I do every day?
The Nameless things in life
Drag myself out of the water
My legs broken
I fall into a different problem
Straight to a war
In my body, it’s a war between my heart and my head
My heart says listen to your feelings
My head says that there are none left
The Nameless things in life
My plans are awry
My veins have run dry
You can’t see me bleed
You have no reason to hurt me anymore
I have won again
I will probably die here on the ground
No one will miss me so farewell
The Nameless things in life
When the world is watching
When the world is quiet
You can hear it in your head
Don’t do this
You can’t win
Don’t listen to it because
You can
The Nameless things in life
It took me this long
To listen to the ones whom I love
I found the meaning of that feeling I longed
I thank myself for getting me through the troubled road
I thank myself for not giving up on the nameless things in life
The things you live for
The things we all feel
The thing is that I am not the only one who is watching their world decay
My mind is a puzzle
And I just found the missing piece
My brain functions better
Now that I am in the right place
I have gotten better than I was when I started out
The thing about life
Is you can always be yourself
The Nameless things in life can be good if you try
