As seasons change... Feelings manifest of sadness to rage. You feel yourself trapped in an empty mental cage. You realized you have grown, from a young child to an adult who owns their own home. As the world starts to crumble into one of mental decay and ruin you try to find yourself within. Knowing the world has change and past mistakes you think are noticed. Your world has fallen apart. You create an art to contribute with your mental hurdles. This is the "Cronicles of
the Problems with Internal Consciousness"

Tired of being tired, you're creating illusions in your mind... That your hearing whispers arise from what seems like human kind. Wake me up when I am sane again. When I feel like something to live for. Eyes becoming red again from no sleep. You hear a voice try to sweep into your mind. Trying to make sense of life, but the world thinks that you're crazy. But you locked yourself with a rusted knife. You're trying to wake up as someone that make you feel complete, just another experience to do with learning their perspective. You don't relate to this generation, because never you will belong. Audio razor blazes cut into your soul, you feel this arise. You feel like you might along or is this the product of the mind?

I've been thinking this way for quite sometime now. Panic of audio razor blades cut into your skin like a knife cuts into your skin. Falling into a pixelated pit. What would say if I wanted to be someone else today? Would it put your mind into dismay? Is there something that would allow? Dissociate, self medicate... Disasters that lead to problems with internal consciousness. Dissociate, self medicate... Disasters that lead to problems with internal consciousness. Mine compiled of another one's forget-me-not's. Tired of no one listening. That probably creating Illusions in your mind. That you're hearing whispers arise from what seemed like human kind. Problems with internal consciousness... Internal consciousness.

As if I am an alien trapped in a cage. Compiled of all this rage; trying to wake up from this fever dream of other determination. Trying to escape from the bricks I built in my mind when all my rights I have are taken away from me. I cannot talk, I cannot speak because the government's my mouth. They think they're saving lives but they're killing others. Lady Justice has been blindfolded and silenced. I wish I was done, I wish I was someone that actually matters in this world. So wake me up when this world is set ablaze. I have a wall surrounding me and reality. Dissociated, faded, as if nothing ever mattered. I have a wall surrounding me and reality. Dissociated, faded, as if nothing ever mattered. Wake me up when it's over. Goodbye, I live here to die.

Angels flying in the wind into the midnight sky, doused with battle scars
Tears falling from the stars
Meanwhile, wanting to end it all
Watching my the tower of life start to fall
On cold, fall afternoon like a stray dog roaming an alleyway
I shouldn't stay to on the path you need me to make to day
I don't know if I should go astray
These thoughts of internal suffering coming to mind
I am I externally blind?
Is the fog of my thoughts clouding my vision?
The fire of internal demolition
Lying in a field of black roses
As another mind decomposes
These thoughts are getting a little too frequent now
Are these the, so called, "weak ones"
Lying in a field of black roses
As another mind decomposes
These thoughts are being more frequent now
Are these the, so called, "weak ones"
I hear souls calling out to me
Saying, "is this me"?

I don't know who I finally want to be. I don't know if this is self-discovery probably fulfilling my gender identity. I don't know if the world will accept me completely. An afternoon of self-expression, not telling anyone is internal depression. Trying to confront the world of religious extremists. Trying to fulfill my mind of external anxieties. Are you trying to fulfill with what they want? Are you trying to serve the world for what they want but they claim what is right for me? A sin in their book, but not mine. Should this be the answer to humankind? Watch your problems be torn internally. I think this is me...
Are you trying to fulfill with what they want? Are you trying to serve the world for what they want but they claim what is right for me?Are you trying to fulfill with what they want? Are you trying to serve the world for what they want but they claim what is right for me?

Wake me up when I leave this world, when the earth stops whirling. I just want to leave this place of hopelessness, by putting my head and drowiness. I want to wake up where "home is home", so I have no need to roam. I just want to leave this place where I have no hate against the human race. I just want to be free from this reality. I just want to leave this place where I have no hate against the human race. I just want to be free from this reality. I've lost myself in my room for days, I'm hoping I'm not in a daze. I hear my reality, I just want to go home. I just want to leave this place where I have no hate against the human race. I just want to be free from this reality. I feel like I am close. I just want to leave this place where I have no hate against the human race. I just want to be free from this reality.
