Lost

I’m lost in void Can’t escape the noise The thousand voices screaming The souls of the masses seething Erase this mind from all recesses of earth Erase this death, delete this birth I don’t deserve to live among the dead I don’t deserve to feed upon the ones who have bled I’m lost in silence Can’t stop the violence A million children crying The gift of innocence dying Hate this brittle heart of mine Hate the love I give, for it is blind Who has led these flocks astray? Who has welcomed these sins today? I’m lost in sin Aching within My mind is sobbing and fleeting As everyone else is left bleeding Refuse me as I bask in shame Refuse me, give me all the blame You don’t have to save me You can do it—betray me
