Broken Together

Falling
again down this same hole
Pushed over again for reasons unknown
Once again I travel this darkened road
So often anymore my flesh reveals bone
No matter how often I get back home
Nothing ever keeps ringing in its original tone
Falling
apart back together my mind is now one
Never-ending the same it's wars shroud the sun
Descending the spiral we've all come to love
My sanity refuses to fit like a glove
Bouncing
off the walls of reality going down
Spinning out of control long ago lost my crown
Commotion within me now my head starts to pound
Nothing I've tried yet works not this shit so far found
Excitedly
crying I laugh at the sea
Proud and disgusted I hug hate inside me
Scared and fearless I'm jailed to be free
Disabled and operating found that my one is now three
Existing and unreal knowing I am blind and can see
I'm
accelerating at a standstill
Descending stuck at sea level
Unable to move and can't slow down
In the middle of nowhere stuck in this massive town
Waving
good-bye as I'm saying hello
