Begging To Burn
I'm terrified of living
 when every image is wrong
 
 When all future films
 are filled with the same repeated song
 
 Filled with doubt
 and who am I?
 
 How do you live
 under the thundering sky?
 
 More clouds roll in
 under the weight I collapse
 
 With veins so hollow
 like an alcoholic's relapse
 
 What's behind the face?
 The voice you all know?
 
 I tremble behind the past,
 behind the walls, do they show?
 
 Like an infant
 I'm helpless and lost
 
 I welcomed all the lies
 and now I pay the cost
 
 A hollow body,
 a plastic shell
 
 A doll to the eyes,
 touches burn like hell
 
 All perceptions
 based on false pretense
 
 I'm fading in the fog
 I've lost all my sense
 
 I don't know who I am
 or where to turn
 
 I'm stuck in a dead forest
 that's begging to burn
