A Deadly Mechanism
Dace Merryweather
I am running out of time
The seasons in my mind
Are changing, too fast for me to keep track
So I murder the little part of me
That took the burden to care about what I see
I am slipping out of sight
I'm fading with the light
I'm becoming one with the background
Noise, pathetic so I just let it in
Apathetic, so I let it begin
A deadly mechanism it is
Now I am caught in my own abyss
If I can gather the strength to think
Then under the weight of my thoughts, I sink
Closed circuit loop I am trapped within
Going nowhere I haven't already been
No hope of escape so I'll just stay here
This place turns anxiety into fear
It's too much to all take in
The ice I'm on is thin
So I think I'll just fall straight through
Doom is easy, it's what I already see
Abject terror, fed by uncertainty
There's something informing me
Something I cannot see
Something with sinister intention
I hear the whispers each time I make a choice
When I focus I realise it's my own voice
I'm certain that I have been here before
But now I am less when I should be more
And every minute I spend in here
My mind becomes so less clear
There's a trick to this that I just cannot see
How this thing works is a mystery
The harder I thrash trying to break free
The more I can feel it draining me
