Moonlight Dwelling

Breathing still but not living
Each day is the same hell
No friends to talk to
No one that is true
Here all alone
With only me for company
The radio on to stop the quiet
Silence is too loud
Droning TV in the background
Silence is so hated
Sing along with the radio
Looking like a total fool
No one can see
Going nowhere
No way up
Just keep sliding down
Slipping more and more
Further each day
Can't stop this
Lost all control
It overpowers me
Pushing me down
Allow it to happen soon
Will it never stop
Pounding drums
Invade my weary head
