Lyrics
im drowned in treachery bearing sad eyes eying the empty me
emptying memories through tragic tears full of pent up empathy
examining dark skies, pain rains down the office window panes
as I stain another file name of a families maim desolate to shame
blamed for watermarks smearing the black print in the work I grip
nip my lower lip, forget happiness, commit to quit with this sad shit
it’s like im an addict for the dramatic but cant release or break free
breaking past promises of living without worry ignites the fury in me
this building exhibits inhumane cruelty confining minds to despair
no hope or care, caresses a sentimental heart that’s no longer there
I need to escape the mundane madness of morbid work that consumes
so I ensue to come unglued and pursue to slip away from cubical tombs
presume to push through pale white doors to the barren staircase
face blank walls as I begin to ascend to the roof, and open space
overcast night strikes with might as I feel the hard driven rain pound
profound messages from god seduce deranged thoughts that confound
ground displays water in huddled puddles, reflection left me muddled
cuddled by an aroused vision of death that settled within, being so subtle
ruddled with loss of sensation has me pacing impatient with temptation
cessation is past due as I gaze upon the fateful ledge with admiration
connotations converge casting my black thoughts into the depths of hell
while my mind repels an unravels signs of hope, making me dismantle
I’ve lost life’s handle and now seek death for an ends to my means
using the ledge of the balcony as my vaccine I toe and edge and lean
believin’ that leavin will relieve me out of being in a state of numb
spread my arms and look down 14 stories as I descend toward freedom
facing impact I fade out, into a distant and ultimately unfamiliar place
when I wake, I am in the hospital with tubes in my arms and my face
confined by plastic ties draped about my body I find I am paralyzed
a failed attempt to escape my ill-contempt caused the harm to multiply
now look in the eyes of a man who so despised life he would take his own
and maybe you will find what it is like to be hooked on sorrow
