Within Me - Compos Mentis

I was born to fulfil a terrible destiny

The greatest punishment of all

Punished for what I didn’t do and what I couldn’t change

Every attempt to avoid just lead me closer to the inevitable

I committed the biggest sin of them all towards myself

How could I avoid it, why did I deserve it?

I hold out my hands that blackened my eyes

And see my destiny as the stream of blood that it is

With blinded eyes I shed a tear

Thinking about the destiny that I passed along

Take away all my senses so I can’t feel the pain

Let me never know your thoughts

At the peak of my life I realise that everything is false

And all that I have done has only been harmful towards myself

I have inherited the sins of my forefathers

My life is dead and I’m in pain

The greatness of my life has withered

Leaving me with no desires of life or death

If only time would stop and leave me with nothing

Let me be the one you hate
