Mental contract
I've said hello, I can't take it back
And now you've shown me that I cannot be
Anything but your idea of me
Tethered being
I can't interpret what I'm feeling
I let it hurt, because I let it be
Is it so wrong to want to see
Something easy
My wasted efforts never pleasing
Yet here I am just like before
My eager blood spilled on the floor
Nearly broken
An aging beast in an empty ocean
Writhing in the stinging wind
I did not want to do this again
Nearly stasis
I suffer on towards the next oasis
While in my mind, the likely conclusion
That I'm inching towards the next illusion
