Mystery

Please tell me
Why should I be happy
When the world around me is burning to the ground
There’s nothing left around me
It smolders and it cascades down
This chaos fills my cavities
And I still long for more
For something to live on for
Something not a waste of time
The shadow of my empty life
I’m doing all I plan to do
It's all a waste of time

I let go
And I swiftly lose my life’s control
My path is set, I’m never gonna change
This ways forever mine
And I continue
on and on while all you stay behind
leaving me in void
You see though, I’m smiling
I’ll still rejoice
Without you by my side
I’ll leave this world behind
Forever out of mind

Forever
I’ll always live in discontent
Every move I make regret
This paradox of mine
These wounds won’t heal in time
Suffocating
I’m dying here, I never find relief
From the angel of deceit
The shadow from my nightmares
Resisting him when I’m alone
He coaxes me in darkness
And he will not condone
