Switch off the TV, stop all sounds br Shut down the comp, turn off the lights br Let no one come calling br When I am alone. br br Thoughts on the death row br Memories wheezing br like a worn away mono. br Emptiness is nothing br but a burnt away log br in the forest of impossibilities. br br I didn’t hear you then, br I wouldn’t see you now br You are just an x-ray sheet br of soul painted in black. br br You call me an escapist, br I only outran your lies. br I drank your tears br Cups of poison steeped in shame. br br You are nothing but an effigy br Even ghosts fear to enter. br br Come out of your own shadow br I ask you to face the mirror br Your image is nothing but pleasure br etched in horror. br br Fade away into insignificance. br Please let me be me. br I can get real br With the vastness of time.
