It was as though I sat there
staring blinklessly into the sun
I couldn't speak; I couldn't think
I remained unable to function
short-curcuited and damaged
I sat there a mindless zombie
the ways of the world crashing down
hateful words haunting upon me
I tried so hard to lift my arm
but I stayed numb and hypnotized
no muscle in my body would move
and yet, I couldn't realize
I couldn't feel; I couldn't steal
one single breath of air
two crimson balloons in my body
choking on what wasn't there
my lips moved, speaking words
but yet, I didn't know what to say
a chorus of "I hate myself"
rang in my ears that day
my fingers trembled in the dark
my lips quivered with a scream
my skin shivered with each heartbeat
I wanted to wake from this terrible dream
a choir of morbid children
dancing in the starlit night
holding their heads in their hands
I couldn't help but stumble with fright
music swallowing me into warped lyrics
I run down a twisted staircase
gulping down the oxygen to my lungs
running in a one-person chase
they screamed in my ears until they bled
but yet no one could be seen
I was stuck in this mad little world,
that was colored in a black and white scheme
