The Only Happiness Is Within Ignorance

Show me beauty Something that just can’t be stolen It seems that I can not find it I am lost in a nightmare Loveless, breathing in the ashes I’ve given up before I even try Show me something I’ve forgotten Fear seems to be all I know I’m broken here, nothing can save me Horror of a zombie nation I stand alone with my hopes and dreams But terror makes me run away I had better give in Before I take you down now It’s best if you close your eyes I had better give up Before I take your hand now It’s best if you ignore my lies These words Broken glass Unheard Drinking from the bloody bath Show me why Your posture is a pageless book The story of a poet’s death You cry Pretend that you never noticed Inside you’re scarred and locked away I had better give in I’ve learnt that I must be silent It’s best if I just stand and smile I had better give up With you I’m killing what’s left within me I’m through but I still can’t be free I fall Bleeding hands I crawl Into the blood red sands of now Hoping there’s a way somehow
