Relinquishment

You wake up in a silent night

And look afar, the window’s glass:

The city’s fueled with strobing light

People leave and flashers pass.

No one cares. Who is to know?

That you are ready to let go,

To have done with broken dream,

To give up and be machine;

To cut deep into your brain,

To drain out through bleeding vein

All the roots that make you live

You want out, so you could be

Cattish, pretty, fucking fake,

All it does is break or take,

Doesn't care about your rage,

Fetters you inside a cage,

While you scream, you scream in vain

Scream for nothing, out of pain

You should know, as I do, too,

There’s no one, there’s only you.

Empty hearts fill empty places

No real smiles, no real faces;

There’s no ears, no one to hear,

You can touch, but isn’t real.

Just right now, let’s make it clear!

Now we’re up and we are here,

Just to know, for good and all,

No point being with no soul;

What to do with arms and eyes,

If the emptiness will lie

On your skin like poison balm,

Don’t despair and remain calm;

Go to sleep and don’t wake up,

Don’t return and don’t come back;

Sleep as you have crowned the years,

With no sorrows and no fear.
