Analysis of An Ode to Pain
i can think
but i cant move
everyone moves around me
like a sleep paralysis
i cant run
i cant hide
i am lost
stuck in the eternal darkness
im smiling
im laughing
but do you know
i hurt more than anything
deep in the ocean
of sorrow and pain
i am deep in the ocean of darkness
and i cant swim
i am drowning
hoping someone will save me
save me please
but no one does
i am gone lost
in this abyss of darkness
of pain and sorrow
i love you still
