Asphyxiated Mind

It’s hard to imagine
All the things that occur daily
Things that we expect
And things that are disturbing
Complacent with the wrong
Defiant of the right
Annihilation greets us accordingly
Our skin shed us of our light
Breathe this suffocation
Drink this sand
As we drown in this liquid fire
We are no longer man
And here I am
Once again

The ghost of myself
A cold wind in my spine
Haunts me everyday
This asphyxiated mind

I look into oblivion
Past the ages creed
I see myself lost
Staring back against me
As my shadow follows
I am my shadow
I am feeling hollow
Drowning in my liquid halo
Partial to everything
Part of no plan
Past the time of redemption
Prepared to die again
And here I am
Once again

The ghost of myself
A cold wind in my spine
Haunts me everyday
This asphyxiated mind

I travel with the stars
The stars runaway
Who are the stars
The stars anyway
