It Supresses Me
Gabriel Duncan

I don't want to let you inside
I won't do that
I need to hide

And if you should find the way
You'll realize I see in grey

The void I'm falling into cannot be filled
It cannot be reached
You can't imagine it is real

This thing that is killing me
It eats from inside
Is the thing that is killing me
Is the word that I have defied

I can't let you near
You can't begin to understand
These things that make it hard to think
That go hand in hand

It is covered by the years
It is hidden from your eye
You can never know how it thinks
I cannot let you cry

The blackness is almost complete
It cannot be fought
If I try to fight it
It will lay me down to rot

Do not try to pick me up
I will slip through your hands
My mind and soul have all dried up
They have turned to sand

If you see me on the street
Don't hug me and shed your tears
I'll drag you down to where I am
You'll be caged here for years

I can never be with you
Or experience your love
I am stuck here far below
With you high above
