Slipping Into Oblivion

No more! Scream till your ears bleed
No more! Everyone's crazy
No more! You can't take another day
No more! Got to hide away

All those faces marked with insanity
Push onward with a blank stare
Overwhelming sea of numbness
Nobody gives a fuck, no one cares
Few of them see through the shit
They all grow blind day by day
Suffocated with their chores
Like an army led astray

No more...

The world they see is ashen with grief
Holding on to crutches, they move on
Full of hatred, rage and envy
Humanity, compassion - all long gone

This man wanted to soar so high
Now he clocks in every day
Memories, dreams - it all has vanished
Inch by inch, just whisked away
She just wanted some happiness
Now she works from dusk 'till dawn
Washes shame away with poison
Just enough to push steadily on

No more...

Steady beat of the daily drum
Keeps emotions under the lid
Hooked up to the silent hum
The undercurrents flow with shit
Slipping into oblivion
Forgetting what we once were
All those memories we revere upon
Did it all really occur?

No more...
