Vitality

I’m so tired of sleeping

And sick-to-death of this illness

And each day I can feel as the stronghold of my mind

Slips out of focus away from these dreams

Heart beaten down, torn at the seams

This can’t be the end of everything that I’ve done

All the darkness in this world could never block out the sun

There’s no evil that surrounds us that can outweigh the good

Bound by the light lifted up from the ground where we stood

Vitality is gone from me

My apathy is a eulogy that reads

Here lies a tragedy, a hollowed shell of what was me

You’re a skeleton of your former self and I can see that you lack a spine

I fear there is no cure for this

Lethargy-wrapped narcotic bliss

No shock that can awaken me

No force to break this apathy

Wake me up, I’m far too dead to die

I can’t remember how long it’s been since I last saw sunlight

Wake me up, I’m far too dead to die

I can’t remember how long it’s been since I saw any light
