leave me a trail to follow, a place to go. (i'm destined) remove hopes and dreams because i don't need them. i don't want them. sometimes i just can't function. dig me a hole to lay in, just don't leave me here. a hidden qualm that i keep captive decays a spirit held so tightly. mechanical smile and blackened lungs can't fill this void. i am so unkempt; i stagger. i am a battle. i can't win. i can't take this tension.
