Jinzou Enemy

When living only to draw out your breath

Why repeat the every day and live a life where nothing is left?

Such a pretty thing to keep saying

Misguided love for the distant and fake

As your fingers type away the ever dimming light of the day

Even though your lips are void of a voice or a phrase

The silhouettes lacking name or a face

Yet it’s only with them that you seem to find a place

But then again you know as well as I they can’t feel the same

That’s just the way that it goes

Yet again the day draws to a close

You carelessly try and fake you’re alive

And crumble into sleep in the night

“Ahh, it’s so lame it seems,”

So you turned away with pain in your eyes

Even though your gaze is still reflecting all the light

Hey, if you choose to live

And to turn from the world that left you behind

Why then are you looking at me emptily

Like I am the enemy

Silently from behind the screen

Living a life like this isn’t what you should do

I know you know that you’re hurting too

To drown away in the darkest of days

Surely fills you up with grief that’s so agonizing

And if the world we’re seeing is more than a lie

Then tell me, what kind of phrase is right?

Come take my hand and I’ll follow your lead

To a world of artificiality

When even your life has left you behind

Is there really any more point in living?

Just deny everything else

And try to focus on me alone

“Ahh, it’s so great!” They say

And clap their hands together

Even though only trash and lies are being said

Hey, if you refuse to live

In a world that only wants to hurt you

Why then are you looking out there so longingly

Like that is all you’d ever need

And glaring at only me?

Living a life like this isn’t what you should do

I know you know that you’re hurting too

To let it all just end like this

Surely fills you up with loneliness that hurts only you

And if you refuse to leave this sunless room

Where the nothingness just repeats

Then the words coming out of my mouth

Will just break down to echoing noise

“I don’t understand you at all!”

I shout but you just look and said to me

“I’m getting tired of this toy

That just does nothing but talk back.”
