Worthless Offers

A familiar feeling, the brush of flesh against my own

Sounds of sobbing, weeping, of melancholy, lachrymose

Surrounded by simple offers to help, to lend an ear

These empty offerings, these hollow gestures that I loathe

But it's all the same and they whisper nothings, they don't care

Look for a chance to seem a good person without effort

They don't know me

They never will know me

They don't know this pain

They don't care

I've been here before, it's the same old story, you want to help

What you think you know, you will never understand, it's all over

I'm just so sick of the fiction and lies, I want to die, don't you get it?

You can't fix this, you can't even comprehend what's on my mind

One by one they disappoint with lies

They offer worthless claims of false sympathy

They all say, "Heal thyself or talk to me"

I say, "You don't want any part of this

You don't want to take on this burden"

One by one they disappoint with lies

They offer worthless claims of false sympathy

They all say, "Heal thyself or talk to me"

I say, "You don't want any part of this

You don't want to take on this burden"

It can't all be the same and they're saying something, they may care

Reach out to grab that hand in the hopes they will connect

Surely buried in well intentions, there must be a cure

A way to reconnect, a way to sew it up, to close the gap

This is not me, I wasn't always this way

It's a mistake, there must be a reason to live

I remember there was once a time

When I took joy in living, in being loved

Somewhere along the way, a split occurred between me

And the rest of the world

When I open my eyes, there's no change, still in hell

Faces blank and staring, gray around me, there's no comfort

And these people that I once loved and hurt

They all reach out, open arms marked with wounds self-inflicted

My eyes darting frantic with withdraw, blood runs cold

Rise to feet on weakened knees with pain and start to run

Turning 'round, they seem to be following and slowly trudging

Shouting out their worthless offerings, must get away
