Relaxing is foreign concept
When you feel everything will
Crash and break if you
Stop
For second
A moment even
Something will happen
It'll give you time to dwell
On everything you shouldn't
To remember what you'd rather forget
So you drown out the sound
Plunging yourself into work
Distracting yourself from it all
Running away from what should be faced
Years spent by not trying
Months spent lying
Days spent over thinking
Hours spent meticulously wasting time
Minutes spent hating
Seconds spent numbing everything needed
Over working is something I'll forever hate
But love all the same
Locked in an unforgiving cycle
That I don't want to break
