Dark Ages

The sense of insignificance

It winds itself around your chest.

Surrender and submission have now become what it takes to be alive.

Just keep in mind this happens to the best of us at times

And it's not going to get any easier.

You walk this road of desolation

Only to end up on your knees

But just know that you are not alone.

The only things holding you back are the lies that you refuse to challenge.

You're drowning in a sea of self destruction

And your lungs are starting to cave in.

And when you feel that your words can only be heard in echoes

They are more deafening than ever before.

Every day we face helps build the strength that makes us who we are.

I've lived through this

And so can you.

Suffering in silence has become something thrown to our past.

And though the friendships that we've built are constantly falling apart

The remaining few retain the most heart.

And I'll give you my heart.
