Just This Once

…and the world keeps turning

God dammit Earth, can’t you stop? Just this once?
I’m done, it’s over, there’re no tears left
My soul is dead
My own world is simply gone forever
And yet they tell me you’ll still go on
No matter what happens, you’ll still be there

Well fuck you, world
Don’t you care about anyone else?
I’m dying inside
yet you still turn
Can't you see me here?
I can’t pick myself back up
not strong enough to forget
no will for the struggle
It’d be too hard to go back
I can’t start from block one
I’ve been at this same block too many times before

Please, I’m begging you
Stop turning, just this once
Halt, just for me
Let me know I don’t have to get back up
Let me believe life really won’t go on
Stop your endless cycle, World
Just let me be alone with my misery.
