Aftermath (10/24/10)

They say that in the aftermath, I won’t be alone
If I’ve lost my way in the disaster of my own creation
That I just need to take a step back
And not give in to my own discretion

But my circle didn’t just overflow
It shattered, burst, and broke
This shadow isn’t only dark
It’s an oblivion of dust and smoke

The colors have all faded
I’ve given away all that I had
Yesterday is all I have to hold on to
When I look back, it isn’t quite so bad

I’m screaming on the inside
I’m trying to hide from the nightmares that won’t stop
I’m afraid of the monster I’ve become
I’m not gonna be alright, this madness is not a prop

It’s not ok, you can’t mean that
No one knows what this soul conceals
This aftermath is killing me
You don’t know how I feel

People pull me left and right
I’m not allowed to be weak
I need to keep my head up and not look down
But I’m ready to give up, on this losing streak

This weight is crushing me, body and soul
I can’t see through the lies and the pain
It’s too late, I’m done for
My story is being washed away with the rain

I cannot undo what I did
I cannot foretell what comes next
I cannot give back what I took
I cannot help those I’ve perplexed

I changed my mind but I couldn’t change yours
We’ve tripped, fallen, and have been consumed
A stranger would know you better than I do now
All in all, it’s seems we’re all doomed
