Downtrodden I am become Broken undone Wallowing, endlessly wallowing In these black thoughts that devour me Forgotten, bereft of all but grim despair This desolation of being Can you even remember the moment that set you on this course? At what crossroad was the wrong path taken That lead towards this ruin That fulfilled this emptiness Left bare this mortal coil Can you see the hope that lies dying? In the deepest hollow of life Beckoned by the endless vastness And the echoes of despair Still rage within me Drowning in unceasing torrents Falling into the deepest chasm All light long left behind How familiar this state of existence The futility of resistance Days lost to the twilight of youth Can you see the hope that lies dying? In the deep dark hollow of life The yearning to shed this mortal coil
