Despondence

Gtracks

Success and talent
Living in a golden dream
If only you looked inside
How things aren't as they seem

Easily malleable
Don't take a peek
Unless evisceration is what you seek

The universe carries a snicker
Taking pity, how pathetic
Hypogeusia but everything is bitter
Throat with a suffocating grasp

If I could I'd trade it for
All and more
Just for me to find the key
Endless bars and wires as far as I see
Just like a bird
Just without the wing

Flashbanged by pitch black sorrow
Despondence
