What has my life come to?
I keep spinning a million times like a pile of laundry that never gets clean. The dirt is engraved in my bones like words leaving marks on a stone.
It all repeats itself, like a melody that keeps going over and over again.
My head’s in the clouds, up high away from what’s here.
I used to think I got kidnapped to a much darker world, but what if that’s where I truly belong? What if here; this earth, isn’t where I’m supposed to be.
Life’s become so grey lately. My poor eyes forgot how colors look like.
My heart is calm like a storm resting after shattering every surface it came across. There's nothing more to shatter. All the trees died like a giant losing battels.
If only things were clearer. I could’ve found a way out, could’ve seen a road; leading to what’s beyond.
Life is death and death is life; an irony that holds us hostage every day.
