Space Bound on Repeat


Scream,

Sob,

Let it out.

Just make sure.

No one hears you shout.

 

Writhe,

Moan,

Try to breath.

Just make sure,

No one sees you heave.

 

Collapse,

Cringe,

Roll up and crawl.

Just make sure,

No one sees you fall.

 

Gaze,

Zone,

Lose yourself and stare.

Just make sure,

No one sees where.

 

Tears,

Fall,

Pool and slide.

Just make sure,

No one sees you cry.

 

Empty,

Hollow,

A bottomless cave.

Just make sure,

No one sees what you gave.

 

Toss,

Turn,

Happiness only in sleep.

Just make sure,

No one sees your pain so deep.

 

Bleed,

Suffocate,

Diseased and depressed,

Just make sure,

No one sees your unrest.

 

Dying,

Dead,

Same song on repeat.

Just make sure,

No one sees your defeat.
