A never ending nightmare but I cannot decide
If it’s a byproduct of memories or pride
Communicate the symptoms, or should I even try
Maybe it’s all just my state of mind
This never ending moment just never seems to die
But this is when I realize
That it’s so typical of the way that I feel
Why is it such a mystery that I still feel this way
Holding this final piece of me, watch as it fades away
Just give me something real that I can hold onto
So I don’t have to feel the way I never want to
I never want to
Just a simple gesture meant to signify
The will I’ve fought so hard to keep alive
Another complication but I won’t question why
My best attempts cannot control my own demise
Why do I strive to make you, as dead as I feel
Why is it such a mystery that I still feel this way
Holding this final piece of me, watch as it fades away
Just give me something real that I can hold onto
So I don’t have to feel the way I never want to
I never meant to hurt you despite all your surprise
But I locked you up with everything
I tried but couldn’t find
You never meant to scar me from what I could surmise
But my superficial wounds are scabbed
With the words that you’ve advised
And in this mass confusion you’ve rendered me unkind
And only sacrificial crucifixion can
Justify the crime
Now life looks better through your eyes
Why is it such a mystery that I still feel this way
Holding this final piece of me, watch as it fades away
Just give me something real that I can hold onto
So I don’t have to feel the way I never want to
I never want to
