How Much Longer

Drag this neurotic to hysterics
Leave him balked and unfulfilled
Holding inside outwardly patient
'Till the time he'll call it
Alluring exotic twisted hero
Leaving him more lonely still
He waits around, he's spun around and left without the power to stop it

Peers don't know what they can't see
They can't see inside of me
It's sickening how comforting the privacy of the mind can be
How much longer will I try before I realize I'm desperate in the situation
that I'm in again
I'm exhausting yet another topic
I've exhausted frequently with no regrets

Abstruse and lacking rational but making so much sense somehow
A stone has blocked my hourglass, no progress made, no time's run out
I'd almost rather have the latter
Save myself with sad defeat
A stone just broke my hourglass
I peel the skin that had me trapped
