I am a memory I never existed And now I am nothing Her name, a single word Melts me, takes me to the ground Only alive, can't she see I'm destroyed by yesterdays And do I gain? I could only dream For chance to side with me Inquire, ingest, implode Let this not be the disassemblance of me Another night with arms still empty I'm destroyed And do I gain? Or just fall

This world is a burden And it disgusts me I want to deny it Its inhabitants and their possessions I'm embarrassed to know This soil produced me I'm dying to be elsewhere Trying not to belong in a nature Of impulse and self indulgence A brother to none My kinship lies elsewhere I am separate and loyal to no one If born from this soil I'm embarrassed to know you; You do not represent me A likeness only in structure Not in mind I vow to never belong to anyone Born from this soil A people that follows blindly Will not reprimand me

Poured myself out: I am the empty cup My hope died away And my tolerance has faded How can I keep stability On such shaky ground? Prayers that a smile will flag me down Sadly I've learned there's no truth in comfort; Well-being stems not from love Anguish proves to be my only means of solace Yet I want to be held by anyone With any arms I spend another morn alone In a world that rejects me A public unkind, laced with apathy This one's for the world: I hate you Life could get no colder; I'm living out a dying cell But I can pull through
