The Inner Monologue Of The Unsound Mind
(What would it take for things to be quiet
To fade away into a dreamless sleep
To take a tumble down a hole that's six foot deep
No longer having to force myself to breathe
As if each breath was piercing my lungs
For my heart beat to slowly disappear
As it finishes it's song
To no longer hear people ask me how I'm doing today
As the world around me becomes mute
For the color to drain from my skin
As my lifeless body goes limp
I long to make my bed a wooden casket
Entertaining these thoughts is the only thing that puts me at ease
While most people go to sleep dreaming of having kids and nice cars
I dream of the day I'm finally six feet under the stars
