System Resistance - Equilibrium Falls

Like symbols in their code

They always move in cycles

But never straight ahead

They spiral down

Open circuit to escape

Resistance in my heart

For this is never

Worth sacrifices made

Time flying past

Past you

You’re left behind

The system holding like a vice

The end of the line

Getting ever nearer

Is yesterday

Embedded in your heart?

Or is it lost?

Dead like all the others

Filled with void that echoes

A painful truth

The current flows

Will I resist?

The current flows through you

The system pulls

But I resist

A route against the flow

The answers found

Always too late

But maybe there’s a chance

System resistance

To escape

To find another day

Searching for new ways

Beyond this existence

Finding solutions

Out of my reach

Time flying past me

Increasing the strain

System resistance

I capture and hold

Like symbols in their code

They move in cycles

But never straight ahead

They spiral down

It will never be

Worth sacrifices made
