Giving up or going on is basically the same
As I pause in time for reflection
Nothing exists outside myself anymore
As I continue this inward introspection

Knowing full well the approaching hour
And things that now will never be
It’s too late for dreams to come true
Just accepting what Fate has in store for me

I feel as if a stranger in my own life
Screaming voices becoming louder now inside
I would hate myself in utter totality
If it wasn’t for my stubborn pride

I live in the past because I have no future
So tell me please how I feel right now
I would give in to each and every sin
If it was something I could allow

Everyone thinks they will live forever
But I’ve come to the foregone conclusion
Something is coming, that much is certain,
To wake us from this delirious delusion

This touches me on so many levels... stubborn pride that keeps us upright has to be better than giving up... I hope? *S* But it has its cost.
