Schizoid - Final Descent

SINKING AND FIGHTING TO STAY AT THE SURFACE,
DROWN FROM THE WEIGHT OF A 5(?) YEAR PROMISE,
DEVISED, CONTRIVED, EVERY THOUGHT REVISED
FOR AN ACCURATE RECORD OF A DEVOLUTION.
DILUTED, ELUSIVE, DOUBT PRODUCED CONFUSION. AND
EXCUSES CONDUCIVE TO A LAST CHANCE
FINAL SPIRALLING DESCENT!

OBSESSIVE REFLECTION RETAINS IMPERFECTION,
AGED BOTTLED UP RAGE BECOMES DATED,
STALE OBSERVATIONS STRIVE FOR COMPREHENSION,
JUGGLED WORDS FOR A MAKESHIFT CONCLUSION,
DRAWN OUT AND DELAYED, WHAT DID I HAVE TO SAY?
THIS TRITE CONFESSION CONTINUES TO QUESTION!
THE NATURE OF MY DEMEANOUR...
DEMEANS MY UNNATURAL STATURE!
THE STATE OF MY COMPOSURE! COMPOSES STATELESS FILLER!
TO PLUG ANY BREACH IN A GIVEN SET OF WALLS!
I CAN TRY AND TRY, STILL I'LL FALL, I'LL FALL!
CLUTCHED, OBSCURED, KEPT OUT OF REACH FROM ALL!
SICK OF TRYING, I FALL, I FALL!

FALLING AND DROWNING, GASPING AND SHOUTING,
I CAN'T SAY THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN IT COMING!
SURRENDER, SUCCUMB TO THE DOWNFALL,
AND THINK ABOUT WHAT I COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENT!
FOR THE WORST OR THE BEST, IS THIS ANOTHER TEST?
I'M POSITIVE THIS NEGATIVE'S A POSITIVE?
ELATED, I'M FRUSTRATION, ELONGATING DIRE SITUATIONS,
CHARADES PLAY OUT CASTRATIONS,
ON THE STATE OF MY COMPOSURE,
IT DEMEANS MY UNNATURAL STATURE!
THE PATRONS OF MY DISCLOSURE!
PATRONIZE EVERY OPENED DOOR!

A HYPOCRITE, MY TIDE CONCEDING, CRITICS BIDE SEEING
SEETHING TEETHING FANGS SHARPENED,
MENTAL HARDENED, LOST IN A DARKENED ROOM...

I'LL SCRAMBLE TO AND FRO IN A GIVEN SET OF WALLS
I CAN TRY AND TRY, STILL I'LL FALL, I'LL FALL!
CLUTCHING EVERY LOOSE END, NO ONE HEARS MY CALL!
FINAL DESCENT, NOW I FALL!

THIS IS MY FINAL DESCENT.
ASCENT AT MY OWN EXPENSE.
COULD IT THEN CONTENT WHEN I DISPENSE AGAIN?
MY OPTOMISTIC TORMENT
IN AN UNPARELLED EXTENT
THESE INTENSE LAMENTS
ON THOSE FRAGMENTED ELEMENTS?
THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE?
