drift+disconnect

Splintered soul
 Shattered thoughts
 Forcing to the surface
 Who I'm not
 The colors of this world
 Feel like a dream
 Overrun, subsumed
 Caught somewhere in-between
 I can't see
 We drift and disconnect ourselves
 From what grows in our minds
 We live within the grip
 Of imagined evil inside
 We give in to the rot
 And tell ourselves it's all we are
 We try to burn away our souls
 But we've come so far
 Careful
 Wait
 You don't know
 Careful
 Wait
 I don't belong
 That word is infinite and other
 I still feel wrong
 I still feel pulled apart and smothered
 This world is not a dream
 There's no room left for anything
 That eases what I know
 I just want to know what I am
 I've seen the ending
 Of all that I hold dear
 Over and over
 I lose myself in fear
 I'm so afraid that I won't
 Ever get out of here
 I can't withstand it
 I want to disappear
 We drift and disconnect ourselves
 From what grows in our minds
 We live within the grip
 Of imagined evil inside
 We give in to the rot
 And tell ourselves it's all we are
 We try to burn away our souls
 But we've come so far
 Tell me what to be
 Is there such a thing as safety?
 The colors of this world feel like a dream
 Nothing here is constant
 Nothing here can give us what we need
