The End of the Tunnel

The journey has been so long and far
The pain so deep it cuts the suffering spirit
Reminisce about those times
Almost content yet ever so uncertain
For the road is rough and the end not in sight
No way out of these nightmare walls
The darkness calls, every cell screams
Only shadows linger in the hallway
Trapped and suffocating, anxiety and depression but a true friend
Dysphoria ever present and staggering in the loneliness
The longing and fear in the mind
No escaping the torment from within
A surreal maladaptive daydream takes form
An alternate reality safe and calm
In the depth of night’s embrace
The tunnel is very far away
Happiness is now unattainable
Only fading memories mimicking hope
Falling into despair
Not even the pills protect the tears
Flowing in streams of utter melancholy
The darkness consumes and swallows your soul

The Ghostly Night Sky
09:37
|
|||
|
Gazing at the night clouds
The mysterious night unfolds
A cold breeze is lingering
The future is yet untold
Mesmerised by darkness
In a hypnotic state of the mind
A chance to dream in the haze
Shifting formations, the unique kind
From the trance of twilight
To the deepest of black skies
Lost within deep thought
As all past memories die
|
||||
3. |

With the creeping of the night
Comes forth a unique melancholy
Memories of the past too painful to bear
For the time now is closing the end of all things
The future is scarce and uncertain
Only a plateau of dead dreams remain
All the pain of what could of been
But only a dream within a scream of living
The candles die away…
A reflection of resemblance remains
The shadow self of once former
Upon a crooked chair you lie draped in tears
Forgotten fears so do haunt
In a whirl of memories too hard to embrace
The traces of happiness once before
Lays like the withered flower in the window sill

An Unfamiliar Journey
10:00
|
|||
|
Surrounded in the dark, the emptiness lingers
Those cold sharp fingers tears the soul
Suffocating anxiety, no way out
Only to loose control in an unfamiliar place
Beneath these screams, carry the wounds
For the journey is long, oh so long
To breathe the breeze, the coldest of nights
The place to belong in a sorrowful song
|

A Portal Into Oblivion
09:27
|
|||
|
Transcendence through a broken mind
The kind that reveals too many truths
Escape into the void of endless dreams
Let the kaleidoscope carry you away
Into distant planes which are safe
From any hurt of man
Wander the labyrinth of majestic
Gardens, covered in lattice and archways
Breathe in the cool fresh air
With no care of leaving them behind
Be at one with the night
In an everlasting bliss of solitude
|
||||

Every day a dream within a daydream
A safe place, oh such a safe place
The ultimate escapism from reality
Is this the true reality revealed
Vivid mental images almost tangible
To tread, feel, smell and to breathe
To taste the undiluted melancholy
In a mist surrounding the atmosphere
Of a time once revered in a stance
Of unforgiving interactions of beings
Look into the void and beyond
Those pathways beyond perdition
Unable to face the so called reality
In an anxious state of depression
The dark pathways are endless in journey
To the ultimate mind state of nirvana’s attainment

The Frozen Window
07:50
|
|||
|
Doomed from the beginning
A love never to be in fruition
A procession of long lost spirits
Your ghostly visage behind
A frozen window covered in cobwebs
Your dress tattered and torn
Rotting away from your body
These haunting memories of long ago
Mesmerised in the gloom of the night
Your hands are so cold
The hovering mist streams through the trees
The angles are dead now
There is no one left to carry you through the night
As you wither and vanish forever
|

In a dark and lonely place
Where every emotion is overwhelming
In a secret and mysterious state
Where all is silent and frightening
The ghosts of the past continue to haunt
The thought of yesterday and beyond
Beyond the horizon beckons a pseudo light
A fright from the dark as a reminder of life
For life’s cruelty and confusion entwine
In the trees, through the breeze of the forest
Also sullen cold subways and empty city streets
The drab concrete of the abandoned underpass
Those faceless souls still wander
Passing one another with apathy in their minds
Concealed thoughts never to share
Without a care in this dark and lonely place
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
The anguish of unrequited love
Feelings not reciprocated in life
The pain lingers for eternity
A pain that will be carried to the grave

Eternal Forest Nightmare
08:26
|
|||
|
There’s secrets in these trees
The animism awakes
I’m crying on my knees
Gazing at the night clouds
An eerie moon is forming
Everything silent, not a sound
Wandering through the forest
No destination in mind
Only darkness guiding me
The world now left behind
I’ve seen this place before
Like it was in a dream
I know I’ll be happy here
Or though I thought it seems
There’s secrets in these trees
The animism awakes
I’m crying on my knees
Gazing at the night clouds
An eerie moon is forming
Everything silent, not a sound
Now I’m only trapped here
Within the depths of my mind
The branches are embracing
Suffocating, nature unkind
There’s no way back in this
Eternal forest nightmare
The faces in the trees
A cold blank stare with no care

As My Soul Withers Away
07:07
|
|||
|
When depression turns to hate
The self loathing is unbearable
Suicidal ideation in my disturbed mind
Although the deed is far away
When everything around me is overwhelming
The the threshold of pain is very low
Just like my spirit and morale
Can I get a glimpse of happiness?
I’ve forgotten a time so long ago
Almost a content human in a neurotypical world
The suffering, deceit, lies and yes… those two faces.
Always two and only one being the real truth
Head in the clouds at night as the stars circle
My mind possessed by the cold moon
Happiness is long gone, only tears run deep
Too gutless for the real deed, although the suffering continues and my soul withers away
|

Not complacent or taking things for granted
A sudden change brings forth turmoil and depression
I shouldn’t reminisce the past as nostalgia is my worst enemy
Everything was better back then
Any thought of the past lingers as a sigh
In the cold of the dark night dwells my damaged mind
Broken from those with two faces
For there are many, such a cruel world continues
This shattered mask can no longer hide
My true identity, I feel not of this plane of existence
All the ghosts of the past haunt in residual thought
Dreams dissipate, unfulfilled and gone forever
My perception of reality conditioned through all the hurt and pain
I don’t want to hate, I’m left with my mind frozen, broken and confused
|
||||

Every cell screams, then the numbness and apathy sets in
Deep in thought / devoid of thought, either brings a sense of melancholy
I can’t believe this is reality, do I need to pinch myself or slap myself in the face for a reality check. The daymare continues…
A sickly heavy feeling melts away my mind
Distorted faces hide those true intentions inside
Being sentient is a curse through a lifetime
With things not reciprocated, leave the past behind. The nightmare continues…
The abyss is awaiting
The dark is embracing
Being dragged deeper towards its pits
I drink deep from this poisoned cup
