Despondent

from Mark of Man by ILLS

	/

lyrics

I've lost all sense of myself
a product of lies and dereliction
a fortress of un-self
armed with fear and assumptions

Running away from my history
driven by my apathy
but the world will not saunter by
and history will catch up with me

How many hands have tried to grasp me
how many words have failed to touch me

Much like the angels in heaven
to no avail singing of the holy one
I've joined the despondents
unified by self-pity and despise

I've swallowed each and every breath
faked every second step
there's no need to contemplate
but wait for the world to wipe its dirty hands on me

I'm not running from this now
I'm not running anymore
