I've searched for the beauty in the pain of life
Trapped in the never-ending throes
A macrocosm of disappointment
Failure, sonder, and the tensity that grows
An uplift met with decay
A safehaven ablaze
A future lies in ruin
Perpetual undoing
It never ends
I've had enough
This is more than I can take
And wandering to no avail
This life is more than an undeserving fate
Can we do more than hope we prevail?
An unforgiving world
A tomb of trees and sea
Suffused with malcontents
Bereft of any decency
I reject this life
I reject this life
Renounce my roots
Recoil into the soil
I fucking unbloom
I've had enough
This is more than I can take
And wandering to no avail
This life is more than an undeserving fate
Can we do more than hope we prevail?
