The Loneliness Within

My compass isn't of any use
Looks like it's time to tighten my noose
I'm trapped in my very own maze
And I lay in the bed that I have made

I look to stars as earlier men have done
But all I see is the emptiness above
And I struggle for something to grasp onto
Through this bottomless pit I keep falling into

Every direction I turn leads to nowhere
That faint scent of uncertaintity in the air
I feel all that I have felt before
So confused as to which way is the floor

My answer, my cure to this curse
Is just to keep adding another verse
A line, a lyric to my sorrow
I wonder if this'll end tomorrow

I think it's wrong, the feelings I have
I believe I am different, always so sad
Am I the only one at this end of the spectrum
Do I bear the suffering of all other men

My dillusions are overwhelming me
Drowning in a lonely sea
Saturated with anger and depression
The whole world will feel my aggression

I call out and hear my echo
Each word is like a final blow
I tap out and give in
To the everpresent loneliness within
