Heir of Sisyphus
My heart is in a constant struggle
A head in an endless war
And thoughts that won't cease
Each day plagued by guilt
I want to explode
Like a dying star
To create an enormous black hole
Is it enough just to try?
I attempt to be good, to laugh
It's nothing but a brittle mask
The weight of grief rests on my back
Here is the heir of Sisyphus
Rolling his stone next to his father
A head in an endless war
And thoughts that won't cease
Each day plagued by guilt
I want to explode
Like a dying star
To create an enormous black hole
Is it enough just to try?
I attempt to be good, to laugh
It's nothing but a brittle mask
The weight of grief rests on my back
Here is the heir of Sisyphus
Rolling his stone next to his father

The second verse hits hard. This is really good. Short and bitter sweet. Dark and lovely.❤️
