Feel the darkness
Creep into my life
Knew it was a matter of time
Before it reared it’s impish head
In the garden
The snake inside the tree
It’s like I’ve bitten the apple
Everything must decay
For life to carry on
So why was it my misfortune
That kept your world alive?
I’m trying to live my lullaby
But you’ve taken that away
What was left for me?
I feel you’re no longer there
And I’m talking to the void
Screaming mind
Purposeless
Relative
Starless fear
Who chooses the winners and losers?
Is it by design?
Is it by the role
Of the dice?
Is it a master plan
And do we all fall in line?
Then freedom of choice
Truly is trickery
Drifting through space
In this constant void
Trying to find
Happiness and meaning down the line
I’m trying to live my lullaby
But you’ve taken that away
What was left for me?
I feel you’re no longer there
And I’m talking to the void
Screaming mind
Purposeless
Relative
Starless fear
Just give me a sign
That you’re really there
An assemblance of order
This doesn’t seem fair
But is fair irrelevant?
Just who do I think I am?
All are lost at sea
Nothing is owed to me
I just want be fancy free
To live in bliss
To exist in society
I’m trying to live my lullaby
But you’ve taken that away
What was left for me?
I feel you’re no longer there
And I’m talking to the void
Screaming mind
Purposeless
Relative
Starless fear
Screaming mind
Purposeless
Relative
Starless fear
