Self Sabotage


Self Sabotage welcome darkness; take the journey by the beat of my heart the monotonous thump leads you closer to the start there are airplanes with no destination stars lacking constellation And ideas without creation The familiar thump skips a beat and you're no loner on track You're attracted to those who can easily rot Everything you touch forms a more complicated knot Relationships become severed Goals are no longer endeavored And all that was lost becomes more tangled up when greated by your touch The beat acknowledges the changes and slows down As you go deeper you notice yourself drown The beat becomes almost inaudible As you boil up in the depth of my crucible Glimpses of past memories go by Your touch can't taint them when you try The sound of the thump becomes clearer You race to the sound reaching the source Only to find what you truly remorse A reflection the brings you terror Wishing that it was a symptomatic error You touch the source and it fails to be affected You sought what was thought to be lost At your own cost We are a team My own personal scheme
