Helpless, Hopeless
Why-
Have you ran?
Lie-
Seems that you can.
Cry-
But you can't.
Die-
That you shan't.
Why-
Can't I understand?
Lie-
Is this what you planned?
Cry-
Emotions out of hand.
Die-
Out of what you can withstand.
Screaming-
Into hollow nights.
Dreaming-
Taking silent flight.
Seeming-
As if you fall.
Streaming-
Are the tears.
I-
Can't take it.
I-
Am about to slit.
I-
Can't commit.
I-
Don't have enough wit.
Crying-
For oblivion.
Wanting-
To get out of this.
Flying-
To the other worlds.
Escaping-
From this helplessness.
