"Burnt Out And Want To Get Out"

sebastianantioch

Release me from this torment, I'm ready to ascend,

Embracing the afterlife, where my journey finds its end.

In the depths of acceptance, I find my final peace,

The echoes of my soul, in this eternal release.


Accepting what has transpired, the pain and the strife,

We'll find solace in the afterlife.


Acceptance is a hard pill to swallow

For a monster.

Can I really ascend

When I’ve fallen way too much to count?


Everyone has these expectations

That I can never reach.

What if everyone will just pass me?

What if I’m never good enough to even be real?


I’m burnt out and I just want to get out.

There’s nothing here for me anymore!

Just broken memories that I wish could

Fade away.


So many hearts broken

But I can’t say that I blame them

For crashing down when this

Place is just a prison.


No matter what I say,

Nothing can ever change.

It’s always the same game.

It’s always me taking the blame.


And maybe I’m just sick of it!

Sick of it! Sick of the things that everyone tries to say.

Maybe the advice is just not getting through me.

I apologized but everything’s still broken.


I just want to ascend,

End this torment.

There’s nothing left you could

Want from me, I did it all.


Derailing lives,

Failed responsibilities to heal them all.

I tried to do it right but here I am

Causing scars that’ll last lifetimes.


I just wanna ascend!

Let me out!

Isn’t this enough?!

I’ve lost it all, there’s nothing left to say!


And maybe, maybe you’ve just been

A ghost that never knew when to quit!

I’ve just been burnt out and I want to get out,

Anywhere away from here.


Anywhere I can ascend!

Someplace where I can finally let this end.

No more cycles, no more chains.

Finally, we can all break away!


Ascending seems so hard for a sinner like me.

Wish I could just tell you the truth but

Would you believe anything I’ve said

Or would you listen to the voices they give ?


Because I’m trying to make amends.

Any form of reconciliation.

But it all gets torn down by reality,

There’s nothing I can do to make you happy.


So I’ll leave and hope that you understand

How I felt some day.

Because I’ve always been burnt out and wanted to get out.


I just want to ascend.

No more torment, please!

I need to be released,

So I can find true peace!


I’ve derailed lives,

Caused scars.

Yet the responsibility was never yours.

It was always mine, so don’t dare take credit from me.


I’m trying to make amends so I can ascend

But you’re just knocking me down from heaven!

Is it truly my fault?! Am I to really blame?!

Or was I just a victim in my own game?!


I just want to ascend,

Away from this Earth.

But what’s the point without you right?

After all, I got burnt out because I wanted it all for you.


I’d be living out the hope

That one day you’d all accept

Me and everything I’ve done!

But you only chained me up to be another one of them.


Regardless of the fears I have,

Only one thing remains constant

And that’s the fact that nothing

Change! It’s all a cycle that will never break.


Heaven is too far to reach

Yet I want to ascend.

Free me from this pain!

Oh, let me out!


And is it really bad if I don’t know who I am?

Is it really bad if there’s something wrong with me?

Because I don’t know why you’re all against me

When I’m at my breaking point.


I want to ascend… Please have mercy and let me out!

You’re the only one who can free me from the guilt

And you just won’t even look at me.

I’m burnt out and I want to get out… let me out of here.
