Numbly counting days

Trapped inside this role

Ropes on tired hands

A step away from fall

Clinging to the unknown

In the fight with the time

The familiar call of the apathy

Stop! Stop! -

Trying but failing

Stretched to nigh being torn

In the hands of the lies

And fiction envious of this reality

Hold on

To all that's remaining

Rise!

Pain of being awake

Is no excuse for the lies

Can't just keep closing your

Eyes

We're far from the end

Still dormant in this denial

Favor roll of the dice

And trust the loudest of all!

Incessant screams of the crowd drown the reason

Wake up!

Illusions will fall

Tales promoting the lies

While fooled submissively wait

For fading halo to light up their hero

Shut up!

Delusions is all you know!

Rise!

Pain of being awake

Is no excuse for the lies

Can't just keep closing your

Eyes

We're far from the end

Still dormant in this denial

Desperate run towards this brittle peace of mind

Anxiety devoured from within

Eyes down...

I'll wait it out

This time...
