Exist For Reasons, Not Lies
I swear that there’s nothing out there
Bet yet you swim to life
Drifting down the somewhere
Avoiding all the knives
However, I delved down under
Examined all the caves
From where I looked above me
And I saw only hate
Well I can see you looking
Judging all the depths
Down here your thinking drowns me
But I still hear your fears
But as this fear sinks in
My hate will grow for you
And as this hatred forms sin
The fear takes me too
I’d tell you that you’re living
If I got something in return
Just admit you’re dying
I’m sure that you’ll learn
To take you down and under
I’m just another lie
For when you’re up there judging
I may as well just die
So take the dive and listen
The echoes become your eyes
No more learning to die for
And no more pointless sighs
Forever I am down here judging
It seems that nowhere is safe
And as I hear you’re screaming
I seem better off in this place
