Introspection

Just resign, have no ambition ,
Just shells of flesh we are wrong creations
I only wished to see how far
This maddened introspection called life can go.

Solipsism
02:14
|
|||
|
Looking, hearing, senses spilling
Not leaving myself behind.
Hoping, crying, wondering
Do I have nothing to realize?
Screaming, praying, fearing
Adhering to existing outside my mind.
Severing away all ties to me, emotions are astray,
I'll will them out of all I ever knew
Or mold them back into what I still think is real,
The dream that slowly grips
And plagues my mind.
Seek it inside, to truly live and die
Or let the dream carry me.

Why still try? Is there better?
How can I free me?from just a dream living through me.
My sentience stolen.
Make everything flow out of me.
I cannot back down, can't stay in this qualm
Not even on my last leg but it echoes.
Why still search answers when drifting away?
Acting against myself to dampen the torment.
If I'm now shaped by this dream, is my pain real?
Can I truly feel?Are these thoughts even my own?
Or are they modeled by failing subconscious?
It's an expectation of how I think I am.

I've thrown myself away to hopes a way for dreams
To shape me I'll have no compromise.
Have no feelings, cravings put aside for my idealistic foolishness.
Complacency is yet unknown,
In reach only disdain,
The real face of truth.
Achievement is my loss.
Even if I will stand on my last leg
I can still endure it, but to what end?
If dreams no longer sustain what I am?
Must I be born anew and free from my pain?
The ropes woven resemble my frailty,
Ill have to burn myself through them,
Sever ties to all that was self.
I need to cast away the dream
And this time faithfully renounce
The thoughts which sustained
The scaffold of this reality.

Failing Subconscious
05:11
|
|||
|
Failing comprehension
Brought me backwards from any purpose.
Excitement of discovery washed away
By fear of punishment by my own guidance.
Poison self to dig deeper
For a way to separate from this masochistic way of living
Exist, to learn, to question all that I can.
In such abandonment, why strive for my needs?
If in such ways, why still
Exist?
