The Dark Unbroken

As the night is closing in
Unresolved and undefined
Denies the need and challenges necessity
Deprivation in a chaos of words
The hours break the sinews of resistance
The endline blurs
Where the impossible and outsized
Never learn to coexist.

Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
Not for want alone
Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
How can we silence what is never said
How can we scream away the noise.

It's burning from the inside out
The restless tries not to remember
This useless insight that sheds more light on the pain
Must remain in the unbroken dark.

In stages of infinite time
It lies and it waits
The nerve endings touch
The surface of my dreams
And what seems like life
Stretches out eternally
I took on too much
The hours fled
And I was left here
Stranded in doubt.

Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
Not for want alone
Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
How can we kill what is never given
How can we scream away the night.

It's burning from the inside out
The restless tries not to remember
This useless insight that sheds more light on the pain
Must remain in the unbroken dark.

Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
How can we silence what is never said
How can we scream away the noise.

It burns on the inside
As I try to not remember
These endless, useless insights
Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
How can we keep what is never spoken
Here in the unbroken dark.
