Washed Away

 Right after I finished Monotony I started this one. It seems my mind was not yet finished creatively. While Monotony was very personal this one is me writing very objectively, very generally about something that just sounds cool to me. I have not gone back over it as usual so it is rough on places.

Washed Away

Filled with white hot anger

Spilling over the brim

I can’t control what I feel

Can’t control who I am

Confess your truth once more

Before I end your pain

Deep dark secrets revealed

Makes darker the stain

Yelling and wildly thrashing

I call out your name

Seeing the past and future

Who else can I blame

Born into procrastination

It’s my familial right

The decision already made

Don’t want to escape my plight

Blinded by a lack of ambition

I dreamed of far better

Waited for the door’s knock

Cursed by the blackened letter

A vision of all that’s wrong

The melody of our shame

Held together on repeat

Crashing through my brain

My dreams have been washed away
