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
