Sleep Paralysis

There’s no future when you grow up poor
Watching dreams die from the landfill on a far off shore
They are Phantom Limb
They are Poltergeist
Forever haunting these rotten bones
Do you know what I think of when I’m alone?
Another day
Another lie
Another reason to die
Hope has wasted my life
Paralyzed
Crushed by mountains
My mind is a casket
Covered in claw marks and splintered teeth
So afraid of what lies within
And what lies beneath
O' desolate void
With arms outstretched
Bury me in the ashes of impoverished life
Carve out my heart in the shadow of false light
When the embrace of lovers and friends withers with time
So too must my love die
May their absence bear no end to my suffering
May their loss suffocate me slow
