an aching existence / stumbling in the dark
struggling for a breath / an everlasting choke
blinded by deafness / sense numbed to oblivion
a heart of steel but beating / beatbeatbeating
cold hands rear cold creations / cold contraptions and cold imaginations
born into a lost royalty / died in the gutter
a heavy mind void of thoughts / an alarm clock with no alarm
drooping lids call home / a sleepy existence
