Decaying from the inside

 
Waiting for a better day;
Wishing one would come my way.
But all my dreams fade away
And I am left in my ruins, old and insane.


Times they are a changing, but I am not changing my mind.
Too quickly I am aging; I am running out of life.
Life is too short to have just one attempt;
All this life has ever given to me is a look of contempt.


Why is it all wrong?
Every choice I make is a bad decision.
Forgotten thoughts, forgotten lyrics to a song I cannot remember.
I decided to embrace my lack of memory and my indecision.


Always look on the pessimistic side of life;
Internally my mind is Spaghetti Junction and I am a bundle of wires.
Nothing does what it is supposed to do.
Heart left to by-pass love and cells are reborn,
But I have never felt brand new.


Feet are aching; wrinkles have built an extension.
Why so much frustration because of a part I cannot mention?
Brain on strike at half past midnight;
This is my darkest hour…see the truth in the reflection of my eyes
