Of Something That Doesn’t Matter

If no one knows you’ve read it
Do the words even matter or what they said
Frustration is sinking in
All the technologies broke again
The simplest tasks don’t seem so simple
Driving me under…
Why is this the only way things can end?
Pushing harder against the skin
Why is no plan the only way to live?
Of mice and no man
Of wolves and no females
Dragging the corpse under another rotting tree
If no one knows is it still a crime
To care about the people who are no longer there
I’m not so sure of what you are asking
Frustration sinking in…
All the manual labor is laborious again
The simplest of tasks don’t seem so simple over time
Drowning me under…
Why is the air so heavy even up here?
Pushing harder against the bone
Why does it have to be so quiet in hell?
Of dogs and every woman
Of rats and every man
None of these titles remind me of what I’m thinking of
A solitary feeling to know when you’re dead
Dug the hole, feed the plants, but didn’t mean to fall in
Pushing harder against the truth about the lies
Wasn’t sure there was going to be enough time
To say everything about what I’ve said
Still too much time left to sit in this kind of silence
