Double Zero

Look into my eyes
And tell me what you see
Reflections of the man that i used to be
Like the light from a star in a distant galaxy
It took such a long time to reach me
Living in darkness.
Torn in half
Ripped apart at the seams
Exposed. alone.
Flesh ripped from bone
This is what it’s like to be me
My body’s all but forgotten how to tell joy from pain
In the end it’s all the same
Living in darkness.
I wrap myself in sheets made of glass
To disfigure this flesh
To hide this pain
To cover this mask
Inside i’m ugly
Outside i’m broken
There exists a place between two worlds
Where the only colors are gray and shapes have no meaning
I’m awake when i sleep and i dream beneath the sun
But i feel no warmth, i’m the only one
Set me free
Let me wallow in this pain
Let me bask in its beauty
At least i have control
At least your life goes on
There is no shame only truth in this misery
