Unwanted memories or mistakes we've made can often make it feel like an entire path we took or way of thinking was wrong. What if we could go back and erase ourselves from the minds or lives of others we have hurt or who have hurt us? Can we suppress our desire to run from our past and actually face it? Is it possible we destroy our future by being trapped in the cycles of our past forever?
This is a weakness
I think I need this
Going in circles
That's how the pain grows
Trapped in these cycles
Now that I feed this
Silence between us
I create the shadows in my mind
This is artificial
Synthetic screams
Tearing my throat
I remain afraid
Just mimicking what it means
Isolate to self-annihilate
Rapidly progressing
Put my hands on this disease
Trapped in this hell
The music swells
And I've already got my lips pressed
Hands around the throat of self control
This is so antagonistic
I'm the villain
Misery the business
With these impulses winning
Ink this in my bloodstream
Continental subduction of these fault-lines
With energy left for one betrayal
Narcissistic I still choose myself
This isn't cryptic
I'm still left tripping
And loving you despite
You without a dog in the fight
Until silence stays my native tongue
An ending spoken by these tired lungs
Wouldn't it be less painful
If it never fucking worked
Feelings rubber banding
So I'll make this an ending
Already a stake through the heart
Keep it never beginning
So let's make this a trilogy
Mind, body and soul
Expedient evaporation
Nothing to be examined
An atomic accident
Anatomically absent
Anomalous affect, we've never met
I've had no fucking influence
This is a wave collapsed
Strung with Schrodinger's rope
A final fucking dual slit experiment
I remain an untangled particle
