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
