Blissful
Dreams, oh so fragile
Like a string caught on fire
Only to sever, shrivel, and vanish
Right before your eyes
You think you've seen the light?
All you have seen is stars, glimmering
Until they implode
Turning to more darkness
A pain in my side
Takes pain to give life, takes pain to die
Nothing can pardon pain
Life, is a placebo
Savor the pain
With rewards comes suffering
Enjoy the pain, every ounce
Drop by drop
Silence is blissful
