Death in Life

Did you hear! It's quite near Oh, I can feel your fear Just lend me your ear Try not to shed a tear I have lost everything dear What am I talking about? Let's listen and figure out A stab straight to the heart kills no doubt That sound of a breaking Depression has awakened Behold what I'm making It's my heart that has broken apart I always felt it from the very start Now it will be immortalized In this piece of art Sunshine turns to rain Delight becomes an eternal pain Feeding on this impermanent glee And casting what's left of it In the deep blue sea What a monster is Depression No form of expression Can make this discussion — About this Monster Depression — As a small seed, it began Eating me from the inside Now that I'm a man The tree grew high and wide Buds of delight, delightful was their sight They became deprived of light It was taken away, the light of day A mighty tree it stood Smelling of drowsy death Its sight alone would Take into the air your quiet breath It was worn twigs like thorns For my tragic life, it mourns I'm the bad guy And you are the nice ones The dark clouds in the sky And you are the suns My goodness was given to Hades My heart is full of tragedies Are they unknown to Thanatos? Who will give them to the belly of Tartarus? I want to change my tragic fate But I'm too late, it's Death that I'll taste It doesn't await, and has already opened its gate Now let me welcome Death Though it won't be my last breath.
