gone

I'm  here I'm gone
never meant to stay for long
was it right? was it wrong?
doesn't matter - now I'm gone 
so gone
back to myself
secluded darkness kept on a shelf
my safe heaven my prison
turned crimson
I really tried
not to hide
then I saw the terror in your eyes
all that sacrifice
for nothing
but an empty ring
soulmates - what a joke
outworn lies under a cloak
yet I knew the truth all along
never meant to stay for long
I'm a breath that goes right through you
screw you
no stings attached
no regrets
I'm here I'm gone
back to being alone
I'm nothing
but an empty ring
a ghost that ravaged
done the damage
a traveler in your mind
a traveler left behind

that chirping sound

wake up to the same day
every day
put on that
submissive mask
be what you're supposed to
do your part weirdo
no questions asked
just focus on the task

we're nothing but cogs
kept in the dark
living a total blackout
wondering about
that chirping sound of freedom
searching for reason

is life even real
or just a joke to kill
a dream too far
trapped in a jar
