Gone
Wiping my tears away, I feign my happiness to the cruel life cutters of the world
Where hatred and jealousy rules and tears apart those that are close
Happiness and joy are unknown; Light is sucked out of every piece of life
Never is there peace or justice…Smiles turn into anguished cries
The wicked feed on the fear and pathetic lives of the desperate
Planting their evil in the minds of the weak until they are nothing
More than just servants to shadow demons of this place
A world of lies and horror…
A world of pain and torture
A world where the humble are trampled and forgotten
Kindness is spat upon in the pursuit of power
Lost in the darkness of pain
Surround by the feeling of shame
So long to the hope of ever breaking free
I surrender my soul to the bitter end
Without a goodbye to those that have surely forgotten me
I slip away to the lightless depths of hell…
