I can
No longer
Contain
This pain

It's consuming
My mind
Destroying
My soul

All of this stress
All of this anxiety
All of this depression
All of this, this anger!

The spirits have returned
With a bloody vengeance
My mind is ravaged, again

There is no new dawn
The sun does not come up
The wolves devour the roosters
Their cries muffled by the tearing of flesh

Even Hyde is silent
My, my brain is dead
My heart, it ceases to beat
I cannot in unclose my eyes
For I am dead
A void has enveloped my soul

Am I crazy?
Am I mad?
Am I insane?

Why do I feel nothing
Why has every sliver of hope
Fallen away from me

Who am I?
Without my mind
Without my heart
Without my soul

Where are the stars?
I cannot see them

Where are the cars?
I cannot hear them

I can't take
This silence
I can't take
This blackness

I want to curl up
Into a ball
And cry

I want to scream out in rage
I want to howl out in shame
I meant to bellow out my hate
Against this cruel and unforgiving world
But my tongue does not allow it

Has God forsaken Me?
Have even the demons of Hell
Forgotten my existence?

I
Can't
Take
This
Silence
