Diseased

Jal

Imperfect faces

Dulled sensations

I left my blood on the wall

Moonlit spaces

Left no traces

Nothing matters at all

 

Internal struggle

Screams echo

Talking to myself

Feelings pure

Future unsure

Bottled and put on a shelf

 

I've nothing to say

Can't find my own way

 

Theres something

Burning inside of me

I don't know what is wrong

Can someone please tell me?

And nothing

Is working for me

I cant stop this hurt inside

How did I get so diseased?

 

I had a vision

Of grandeur reason

A life bigger than mine

But reality sinks in

Haunted by past sin

It wasnt for me to find

 

Rotting in silence

My purity all rinsed

All the good I've ever felt

Scrubbed away, and

Left me astray

I've lost myself

 

Theres something

Burning inside of me

Can't stop myself spiraling, no

Can someone please help me?

And nothing

Is working for me

Am I too damaged inside, oh

How did I get so diseased?

 

And there is something

Burning through me

I can't find the answers, please

Can someone tell me?

And nothing

Can make this go away

I've tried and tried

How did I get so diseased?

 

And nothing

Can stop this hurt inside

I've no one beside myself

Oh god, how did I

Get so diseased

    I don't know about a song but it certainly highlights the struggles and demons going in a troubled mind searching for anwsers and a way out, nicely written and expressed

    • Jal

      Thank you for the words, mate! 🤘

      So interesting the words we use to describe things. Disease for pain is an interesting association. I hear hurt here. Nicely written

      • Jal

        Thank you very much!

        This would surely make for a great song lyric I would wonder what type of music you would use, it made me think of the last two songs I have listened to, an enjoyable piece! Ty for sharing.

          Thank you! I'd like to imagine this could be used for something like a hard rock/metal song, only more melodic and, as the song progresses, very chaotic and noisy. Maybe somewhere along the industrial genre field, but with a heavy emphasis on atmosphere?
