By Jesse Batista
I’m headed down that path again, the solitary one Fighting the feelings, like I don’t belong. The spiral has begun There’s an emptiness inside me A hole through my heart There’s nothing left of this shattered shell A disappointment from the start They pull me from the darkness Try and spark that light of hope But I retreat back to the shadows To hide the pain and hit the dope like I’ve never felt a true connection But, I’ve known the truth all along I’m the monster that wants to kill me Only pain do I prolong Focused on the past from a sickness I can’t beat I cannot move forward I cannot retreat They pull me from the darkness Try and spark that light of hope But I retreat back to the shadows To hide the pain and hit the dope In this battle I am drowning must kill the voices in my head I’ll never be who they want me to be That part of me is dead They pull me from the darkness Try and spark that light of hope But I retreat back to the shadows To hide the pain and hit the dope It’s a never ending circle And round again I have come Hope has left me in despair Please Just let me be numb
