The voice of my generation

Release me into eternity confined to this dismal reality grasping at puppet strings wanting release of my conciousness struggling to escape this form that holds me unable to see my essential being I'm pleading with an unknown all powerful being release me into eternity

Drawn into the depths of doom I cry my tears of shame knowing nothing of the truth but my name lost in a vast world of lies wandering my soul homeless this world giving me no gain I reach for the surface so many have claimed to see unable to grasp that reality

Emotions set adrift feeling lost in a dark abyss tears of loneliness quietly fall I wonder if you ever knew me at all I gave you my heart and my trust now all I feel is shunned I put on a pretty face worst part is all I feel is hate the worst kind of hate there is the kind that tears you up inside this is all my fault I know I'm constantly telling myself so you left me now I just have to accept and let go Sad thing is I'm not sure I can Oh who the hell cares I probably don't

What do I do I'm so in love with you I wonder if you even notice this truth I hurt inside I can't compete with your pride Lost in what feels a hopeless reality you make jokes about happliy never after you don't even notice the pain it causes me do you even care are you just pretending I'm giving you my everything yet it feels like I'm less than nothing
