despair

oh it fills the air

hanging heavily through the room

paving the way to our doom

.

a drum beats

just like our heart keeps

going on and on

and we march til dawn

.

our days

they are filled with numbered rays

sun from stolen time

as we convince ourselves we're fine

.

see, there's an echo of

hopelessness, raining down from above

and there's a pounding in my head

that doesn't cease, even as i see red

.

this utter desperation

which seems to sweep our nation

could it be brought on

by war and us little pawns?

.

i think

that this is

where i

let go

.

don't want to fight no more

just want to be numb

demigods grow up with such a heavy weight on their shoulders.
