Afterburner

Hours to days to weeks
Obsessive criticism
Failure to say the least
The only option now you're
Too afraid to sleep
Conflicted dreamer
You should
Never
Forgive yourself
Broken and left to bleed
Discarded prodigy
Now that you've been set free
That nihilistic feeling
Wander aimlessly
Grossly mistaken by the
Lies we all tell ourselves
It's gone, somewhere you can't go
I know
I know the feeling

Fall
Nowhere to go but down now so
Fall
No one can hear you breaking from so far a(way)

Wasted, burnt out, de-fused
Spent all your energy on
Nothing worthy of use
Avoid the problem till you
Feel your heart give in
Counting the fires you could
N e v e r
Hope to put out
Hollow and caving in
Your only sanctuary
Comes from the light within
And it's been slowly fading
Echoes of a time
With warmth and happiness your
M e m o r i e s
Are growing dim
You were never gonna win
Give in
Give in to the feeling

Fall
Nowhere to go but down now so
Fall
No one can hear you breaking from so far away
You'll fight another day
So just give in

Fall
Nowhere to go but down now so
Fall
Burning a candle from both ends
Makes no goddamn sense
Call it finished, you can
Rest up and try again
