V5.5

Fogged-up glass.
Clenched fist deep inside the pocket.
Everything is... fine on paper.
But the lungs... they only get half the air.

Alarm clock stabs the dark, another daily shift,
Hot tap water, cheap caffeine, the automatic drift.
I got a roof above my head, a grocery bill that's paid,
I ain't starving under bridges, no complaints about the trade.
The whole routine is running smooth on minimal garage settings,
Wasting all my energy on paying off the headings.
Empty streets at 8 PM, the neon blinds are down,
Just a steady, suffocating pressure in this quiet town.
Seconds leaking through my fingers, dirty hands and weary eyes,
Trading pure potential for these calculated lies.
No rebellion in my blood, I ain't blaming state or church,
Just a heavy, quiet knowledge that I'm stranded in this search.

The concrete stairs just end halfway...
The heavy door is cracked an inch...
I know the weight of this safe, cold gray...
And it’s never been about the cash.

I don’t want a palace, I don’t need a crown to wear,
I just want to shed the skin and breathe the open air.
A buried talent in the dirt, a lifeline on probation,
Living life at fifty percent, a chronic starvation.
This is not a mental breakdown, this is not a desperate cry,
I just hate to watch the blueprint of my spirit slowly die.
Not right now... it's not the hour yet to fall...
But this silent, heavy hollow puts the shadow on the wall.

They tell me: "Count your blessings, boy, appreciate the steady dime,"
But security is just a knife that's cutting through my time.
The horizon is a ghost, hidden deep behind the smoke,
Everything is filtered down, a numb and steady choke.
The worst part isn’t being tired, it’s the habit that you form,
When the daily stagnation feels more natural than the storm.
Doing too much to survive, doing too little to be real,
And I'm sick of turning numb to everything I'm supposed to feel.
Breathing through a heavy mask, isolated from the spark,
Just another ghost corporate body moving blindly through the dark.
I don't look for enemies, I don't look for who to hate,
This is my own private war against a mediocre fate.

I don’t want more... I just want it deeper.
I don’t want higher... I just need to feel the root.
Before I end up old, staring at an empty plate...
Realizing that the safety was the trap that locked the gate.
The desert trial goes on.
The bread still tastes like dust.

I don’t want a palace, I don’t need a crown to wear,
I just want to shed the skin and breathe the open air.
A buried talent in the dirt, a lifeline on probation,
I just want to feel... that I am living on my own terms.
Without these fucking blocks.

Not yet...
Not yet...
Light cutting through the blinds.
And this goddamn... eternal hollow.
