Angst

Eric Bonholtzer

Dreams are memories that slowly fade away
Thoughts of yesterday still clinging to me now
Why can’t I shed all this pain?
Why can’t I make it fade away?
Why does it still haunt me now?
Why can’t I just make it go away?

Anger. Angst. I feel it now.
Hatred. Why can’t you just leave me alone.
You desecrate me.
Eviscerate your memory.

I will not listen to you.
Tell me your lies. Make it go away
I’m not listening anyway
Tell me your excuses, your alibis

Time passes like a river gone dry
Tomorrow is yesterday with a different name
The blink of a blind eye
Why can’t I be left alone?
Why can’t I go home?
Can’t you see I’m one step from the edge?

Don’t feed me your lies.
Of Anger. Of Angst. I feel.
Your hatred leaves me, alone.
Anger and hate to desecrate.
Your memory.

I will not listen
Don’t tell me your lies anymore.
Forget it all. Make it go away.
Can’t you see I’m one step from the edge?

I will not listen to your memory
Desecrate me no longer.
Can’t you see I’m one step from the edge?
