Path To Damnation

One after another
They come and gather around me
Looking, staring
I remain laid down

They approach me and start making a bunch of questions
I just want silence
No sounds, no voices
Just plain silence

They ask me if I'm ok
And attempt to sooth me by telling me everything will be alright
How can they be so sure?
How can they say such thing?
These days nothing is ok or fine
These days there's a endless darkness
All the lights have disappeared

They ask me how long have I been here
I've been here forever I think
I've been here for as long as I can remember

They ask me how am I feeling
Well, I could tell them I'm feeling empty
But nowadays I'm not even sure if I feel anything at all
I remain quiet
I pretend they're not here

They ask me what's the matter, what's wrong?
Everything's wrong, but nothing matters any longer

They ask me what happened, why am I like this
Nothing really happened
Nothing happens
There's an absence of happenings
I'm just dead

They tell me to stop talking nonsense
They tell me I'm lucky to be alive
They tell me I should be thankful and celebrating
I don't feel lucky
I don't feel alive
And I can't think of a single reason to celebrate

They insist on keep making me company
While I just want to be left alone
I'm bored by them
They keep trying to cheer me up
But all they do is annoy me

They keep trying to make me talk
Trying to communicate with me
But they can't
They don't speak my language
And I no longer speak theirs
They seem confused by it
And they don't get my point
Of course not
I knew they wouldn't

They tell me tomorrow will be a new day
Things will be different
That I gotta keep my hopes up
That I need to have faith
I tell them that tomorrow will be exactly the same as today
Nothing changes in a day
Nothing's changed until now
Why should tomorrow be any different from today?
Why should it be different from any other day?
Everything's becoming meaningless and pointless
Vague and blur
Everything's distant these days
I tell them that tomorrow I'll be as dead as I am today
And I will
