Maybe, When the Lights Fade

Somewhere in September
I seemed to lose my life
Searching always for something
Always finding strife
Breaking down over nothing
Tears utter the worst of pains
Crying for my lost touches
Maybe when the room is empty
Or when the lights fade out again
Maybe when I can stop thinking of a future
That future can finally begin
Broken torture, trusting nothing
I feel nothing, I am nothing
Never fitting together
The pieces fall apart
Why can't I get my act together?
When will the good life start?
When the walls start closing in on us
And the space disappears
Maybe when I'm not so tired
I will make my new face
Mold the plaster to the mask
Show it off in a new place
Fake the pleasures of being made
And feel the pain that faking sends
Faking finds us nothing
No one and no amends
Maybe I could break this stupid mask
And we can find together
When this torture of faking ends
Smiling calming everywhere
When it's finally done with endings
And all beginning lose their style
Take me away from this broken place
When my eyes turn darker
And my mouth opens wide
When words that shake the foundations
You can see inside
Close off my tomorrows
Maybe when I'm done finishing nothing
We can start again
Maybe when I'm done with endings
I can work on my begin
These lights fade out forever
Eyes adjusting to the dark
Maybe I can get my future together
Maybe for a start

Whoah life has a lot of questions, is confusing, has endings and beginnings. I thought this write was great, sad, dark and maybe a little bit of hope. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
