In this sea of desperation an impossible burden seems to be the only crutch
A distraction from purgatory as empty as the plains
Simply nothing until the path is darkened leaving behind a ruined version of itself
It has always been the same, a desire greater than the ground beneath your feet
For as far as the eye can see everything looks better from down here
An effort to to escape a place that seems endless
Separate the closest pieces in an attempt to dull consciousness
The weight of guilt lays heavier than that of hope
Cursed by the ability to dwell on every possible instant
Everything is temporary until forced to be carried like a brick of shame
Yet you carry it anyway, without an attempt to remove it
As if it were meant to be a part of you, the final piece that went unnoticed
Until it made itself apparent, until it was not the same without it
And the ground beneath your feet is weakened as you begin to sink, collectively ruined
With nothing to grab hold of you can only watch as you fade down this hole
