Catch the whisper
As it fades
Vibrates in the air.

I feel numb.
I can’t feel.
I disappear.
You were never real.

Hold the moment
Steal my violence
Sell it to the anti-Christ next door.

Fingers shake
Hesitate to point
But they point at everyone else but you.

Last on my mind?
Me.
As I turn to bed

Stranger in my head
Cursing me.
What happened to those titles I swore I’d be.

Queue to sign up
I’ve done all I can
I can’t go back to that place
Any other place
Like that.

Where they say they’ll teach me.
They try to reach me
How can they preach me
They have no idea what I’m about…

Catch my whisper
As it fades
The voice you hear
Hides.

I have nothing to be proud of.

And still all that I think of,
All that I do,
Every little thing
It comes back to you.
