There is no greater plan
How could there be?
If this is the work of a guiding hand
I'll bite it straight to the bone
The truth weighs on my mind
How is this justified?
My heart can't seem to react to this
Pull me from this dream
I just can't take it (this can't be happening)
What would you have me believe?
A spirit lost, A life reclaimed and taken from me
Revelations tear the comfort from my mind
It's all sinking in
You're not coming back
You're gone
Hell is not a fire deep below
It is the hearts of man
It is the fear of death
My heart can't seem to react to this
Pull me from this dream
I just can't take it (this can't be happening)
What would you have me believe?
A spirit lost, A life reclaimed and taken from me
Pulling the world back into focus
It's killing me to know I won't see you again

Anger

A mind that can never rest
Pulled apart by malevolence
Could I put these thoughts to sleep?
(As my heart pulls from my chest)
Or will the fury consume me?
You are a cancer
Nothing more than filth
Broken steel covers the dirt
Nothing but smoke remains
What mistakes have you made?
(There is no justice)
For your life to end this way?
(Without permanence)
Tremors race across my spine
(The world is tarnished)
As color drains from your eyes
You've taken everything for nothing
Fade as your organs fail
This is how you'll be remembered
Do you begin to understand the gravity
As your bones crumble upon themselves
A mind that can never rest
Pulled apart by malevolence
Could I put these thoughts to sleep?
Or will the fury consume me?
Let the Earth burn
Let the flames dance around your blackened bones
Let your flesh rot
May your veins become roots

Bargaining

I'm trapped here like a ghost
Reliving every moment
And I'm begging you to say this isn't true
Offer me the gold of a million men
And I would trade it every time
Your words are my wealth
And I'm growing poorer by the day
Just please don't slip away
Speak
Speak
Say my name just one more time
Think
Think
I know you can't remember
I know it's not your fault
I'm trapped here like a ghost
Reliving every moment
And I'm begging you to say this isn't true
Every tear drop is an ocean
A silent plea to no one
If I hold onto you tight
Will everything rewind
I only know true kindness
From standing right behind you
A noble soul that radiates
Compassion's paradigm
In your final moments
You had no idea
That this stranger welling up with tears
Cared more than you'll ever know
Your heart stopped in my hands
I won't believe it
Why can't I change this
I'd gladly shut my eyes to open yours again

Depression

Petrified to be alive
Blindsided by this aversion
A thousand days I'll live the same
I don't care, I won't feel anymore
This can't be all I amount to
Yet here I lay a hollow shell
Cracking at the seams
Regret tears at my trembling flesh
There's no hope for a broken man
Life is such an ugly thing to live through
Too weak to fix myself
I'm sick of giving up
Why should I wake to face the truth
Too weak to fix myself
I'm sick of giving up
Petrified to be alive
Blindsided by this aversion
A thousand days I'll live the same
I don't care, I won't feel anymore
Life is such an ugly thing to live through
Too weak to fix myself
I'm sick of giving up
Why should I wake to face the truth
Too weak to fix myself
I'm sick of giving up
Alone with my thoughts
My mind decays
I can't breathe in
I can't breathe out
I choke on the sand of the hourglass
For some of us there is no hope
We wait in silent isolation
A portrait cloaked in misery
I am desolate
I am alone

Acceptance

If we lacked an ending
Would we be the same?
I've found our beauty lies in ephemerality
Let the sun set
There is no light without dark
No life without death
It all ends
Night is upon me
Life preserved in a series of moments
Every thought is forming this
Intangible reality
What grants all of our lives a meaning?
Nothing is precious
If it lasts forever
What makes every breath a part
Of something more?
We leave our voices behind
Like a whisper in the back of your mind
Let the sun set
There is no light without dark
No life without death
It all ends
Night is upon me
Threads woven by memories
(Tangled through my fingertips)
Becoming your heart strings
What grants all of our lives a meaning?
Nothing is precious
If it lasts forever
What makes every breath a part
Of something more?
As my eyes close
And my body fails
Don't forget me
And I'll never die
