A Date With The Void

Unspoken, suspended in the eyes Yesterday, today, and tomorrow Between thickly layered lies In the fiery glow of sorrow

It's me, an echo of the past It's me, the reveal of the end It's me, always the last It's me, try not to contend

How many more times How deep will the wounds penetrate spells woven into rhymes What are they supposed to erase, what to abate

It's me, an echo of the past It's me, the reveal of the end It's me, always the last It's me, try not to contend

Every time I look in the mirror Someone in it disgusts me Each time it's clearer and clearer I want to escape, but where is the key?

It's me, an echo of the past It's me, the reveal of the end It's me, always the last It's me, try not to contend

An inherent personal hopelessness A void that burns with stagnation Mediocrity and worthlessness Not creation, but pure frustration

It's me, an echo of the past It's me, the reveal of the end It's me, always the last It's me, try not to contend

I'll hug you from the night's cold I'll shield you from the sun's heat because that's how it's been told and that's what you plead

It's me, an echo of the past It's me, the reveal of the end It's me, always the last It's me, try not to contend

Silence, the bliss of repose Darkness, the idyll of peace Do you have anything to lost? Is this the promised time and place?

It's me, try not to contend It's me, an echo of the past It's me, the reveal of the end It's me, always the last It's me, always the last

It's me, always the last

Don't ask what do you see Do whatever You have to do Look now, look straight at me How revealing, It's not me, it's You Gladness nestled in sadness Pure concentrated madness Sadness nestled in Gladness

It's me, try not to contend It's me, an echo of the past It's me, the reveal of the end It's me, always the last t's me, an echo of the past It's me, the reveal of the end It's me, always the last It's me, try not to contend

It's me... The Void And who's now a paranoid?
