Pariah | Muse

i want this more than anything

so much so, i’d give my life

i’d trade it in, in a heartbeat

trade my heartbeat 

for the peace of mind i crave 

barter body, soul 

but alas 

in spirit i must remain alive & brave 

for this traipse is tiring all the same

but if i covet this life

if i want it enough

if i dance this dance in strife 

then my presence will remain 

i’ll go insane & drop humanity, (in a name)

all to feel that peace 

you will think me stoic 

uncaring in motive and word 

lacking likeness of ease 

though trust that i care, to the very end

i just no longer aim to please
