Coming to terms with a meaningless existence<\/p>\n
is never an easy to feat<\/p>\n
and it certainly won’t get easier as<\/p>\n
the walls begin to close in<\/p>\n
around me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The castle door is shutting and<\/p>\n
I can’t seem to get there on time.<\/p>\n
I just can’t find an out<\/p>\n
no reason or rhyme<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
where do i go?<\/p>\n
what do i do?<\/p>\n
when they were handing out instruction manuals,<\/p>\n
i must have been brooding through it all<\/p>\n
i can’t leave because<\/p>\n
they’d never let me out alive<\/p>\n
but what becomes of my existentialism<\/p>\n
if i remain in the bowels of a world that doesn’t recognize me?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The castle door is shutting and<\/p>\n
I can’t seem to get there on time.<\/p>\n
I just can’t find an out<\/p>\n
no reason or rhyme<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But if a semblance of purpose<\/p>\n
manifests in the darkness,<\/p>\n
if i can derive inherent obligation<\/p>\n
within the clutches of purgatory,<\/p>\n
maybe it can still work.<\/p>\n
maybe this is where we’re meant to be .<\/p>\n
