Light Cowers As Darkness Howls At the Night
Well I just can't decide
if I wanna live or I'm gonna die
It's hurting like a disease
and I really need to fly
So I'm searching for a reason
to give life one more try
But all I get is pain
disappointment yet again
So it seems like it's the time, to leave all this behind.
I'm merely supporting a system I don't believe in
Feel I'm caught in a cistern I wanna be leaving
Have you learnt, religions warped and broken
I heard it preys on thoughts unspoken
And politicians may be the cruellest of breeds
But they only Tell the lies, it's the fools who believe.
Is it insane to wish toward lying in a coffin
If pain is the only reward life has to offer
I may seem, considerate and caring
insisting your problems we're sharing
(it allows me to hide from mine...for a time.)
Hope remains meaningless when nothing changes
Folk wrote the same more or less, all through the ages
As a wise man once said
"You can't live your life for someone else"
I contrive that message onto its head
I Could cry for help? Or should I lay down dead!
How much more do you give it
before you decide to quit?
If I find a door that's open
That rooms been raided twice before
I tried that thing called hoping
I dream a wish may bring me more
I'm down and out and broken
Gimme the postcode for deaths door
For the ripples ALL life ever make, dissipate at that shore
Please don't judge nor weep too much
For I'd suffered the worst hell, so bereft
And as I took my first breath after death
One look at the burst shell that I'd left
It seems my skin was cut from a different cloth
I'd been sinking as a butterfly roaming with the moths.
