under lock and key
never let them see
swimming in the pressure
and it's closing in
i'm sinking rapidly
i don't know who to be
desperate
desolate
discontent
this new reality
has elasticity
justified by what's denied
so i decide to die inside
my lungs invite the sea
yes, i will cease to be
debase me
erase me
replace me
detaching from the fantasy
returning to reality
extricate the parasite
you are not a part of me
sacrificed integrity
i can't forgive what's left of me
drowning in a sea of my vacuity
how could you?
how could i?
i know the truth
you are a lie
a weight i cannot carry
a grief i cannot fathom
a death that has no meaning
a loss that has no end
my penalty
condemned to be
trapped in a sea
of vacuity
indemnity
sentenced to be
lost in a sea
of vacuity.
