The Road from Recovery - Woe

Chained to a path that leads to the end

Try to escape but it’s best to pretend

I stray from the course, stumble back at the bend

Progress always leads to regression

There are visions in sleep but reality’s worse

You struggle for peace but are locked with this curse

Start moving foward but end in reverse

Progress always leads to depression

Start from the end, if you look you will see

The regression

There are visions in sleep but reality’s worse

I struggle for peace but am locked with this curse

Strain to push past but know you’ll end in reverse

Progress always leads to depression

Face to face with what should not be

These words are all weapons aimed squarely at me

Armed to the teeth, preparing for war

Compounding with malice forevermore

There was a day we used to know

Where we’d desire and it would be so

But though we know just what we see

We cannot reach it, we are too weak

Despondent, corrosive, we circle the drain

My will falls to opposition, who’s left to blame

But the source of this compulsion?

It lies within

Simple actions and reactions halt what could have been

Still we rise in opposition, denounce our fates

Contradicted by our nature, which lies in wait

Complete corruption of all we chosse

Because this body demands it always lose

Overwhelmed by the world

Overwhelmed by the truth

Anxiety

Can you feel it crashing down?

Yes through this blood flows dedication

My serotonin turned and fled

Fate gave up god, found depression

Every fragile peace tempered by its hand
