Should I let go of my peace

And burst into flames

Tired of holding it all together

Hanging by a single thread

Ready to rip it through

And bleed to the rhythm of my heartbeat

I spin tales about my happiness

Wish one day they come true

Days are ruined by dreams

I see my reality in red

Contain contain contain

Testing my patience

My nerves are about to crack

Letting go, yet holding on

Hanging by a single frailing thread

Maybe it’s the calm and peace

And the knowledge of nothingness

After the plunge into darkness
