COME TO COLLECT

I can’t see an end in sight so I crumble with the weight.
No support to hold me. My spine begins to crack.
A hard pill to swallow; the feeling of regret.
I’m playing against the dealer and he’s come, come to collect.
But there’s nothing to my name. Nothing.
When will the light break through? When will the sun, shine?
It’s always raining. Relive the same day.
I’m begging on hand and knee. A chance to clear my name.
Things aren’t getting better.
This weight is suffocating me. I’ve lost, lost grip of reality.
Hold on to, anything you have left. This weight is suffocating me.

DARK CLOUDS

Here I am, at the edge again. Dark clouds are overhead.
No substance. No sight. No light to guide me home.
Heaviness rises with the morning. The negative thoughts start forming.
Can’t stand to my feet. Frozen to the floor.
Barely breathing. Barely being. I am beggin for more.
Losing my will but still, the clock keeps tickin.
Seems like there is no hope, no hope in sight.
Slip away.
Am I the only one who hears the voices talking?
Am I the only one who hears death knocking?
It’s safe to say I’ve hit the bottom.
The noose around my neck tightens with every breath.
Still searching for release. Freedom from this broken mind.
Counting down the minutes before I slip away.
Mind melting. Feel the burn of the wax.
Keep trying to get a hold of this life but the second I grasp,
I fall back.
I am at the edge again. Dark clouds are overhead.

PIECES

The winds of change.
It can’t be. This can’t be. Didn’t think we’d reach the final chapter.
Do you care my brother? Cause you’ve tossed me to the gutter. I’m trying to renew. Renew you.
My cup is full of empty promises. The bond has broke. Undone by the gap. Carry the emptiness on my back. But the question still remains: Am I the one who's wrong or have you wronged me?
Take it to heart cause you’re breaking mine as you slip into the haze. Watching you bend with the winds of change. Leave me with the pieces.
The day is coming soon. Look you in the eye, and finally see things through. Can’t have you making me blue. I didn’t think time would change you.
Do you know what you’re breaking? Break me. Smoke and mirrors.
Witness the void you left in me. Empty. Time has changed you.
Although it hurts, the good thoughts don’t leave my mind.
Can’t relive them. I think it’s time to say goodbye.
Goodbye.

DEATH SENTENCE

Faceless. Can’t erase it. Is my pain my purpose?
Guilty. Am I guilty? Am I the one who caused this?
Faceless. Can’t erase it. Will the hope resurface?
Won’t fold in this chokehold. Face this death sentence.
All I feel is the ache. The curse I can’t break, feeling I can’t shake.
They say it’ll all end soon. No promises of when you want it to.
As I lay still my mind is racing. Can’t seem to catch the good times I’m chasing. No.
Can't lose sight. I can't lose hope. This can’t bury me. I got so much more to be.
Faceless. Can’t erase it. Is my pain my purpose.
Guilty. Am I guilty? Take away the pain inside of me.
Faceless. Can’t erase it. Will the hope resurface?
Won’t fold in this chokehold. Face this death sentence.
I’ll keep pushing through the pain. This world, this life will know my name.
Use every ounce of strength. This world will know my name.
Face the faceless.
