Apathy


I saw you murder them

But no blood was spilt

Dead

You murdered them

You poisoned them

Dead

I saw

Dead

I watched you kill his mind

Smother his mind

Strangle his mind

I watched you consume her heart

Devour her heart

Slowly

Dead

I watched you steal their will

I watched you  

I watched

Dead

I watch you looming over me

Your long, cold fingers, reaching out

Freezing

Clutching my heart

Numb

I feel nothing

Numb

Numb

Dumb

You've swallowed my mind

Dead

I let you drown me

I let you suffocate me

Dead

No fight

Not cold

No feeling

Just dead

No light

No hope

Just dead

Dead

No chance for change

Dead

No passion

No fire

No burning flame

Dead

Dead

Apathy, you kill me

You killed me

Dead

The world is dead to me

Dead

Dead

Dead

Apathy, you must be slain
