Eternity of Misery

Here I lie for eternity

Waiting for something

For anything

To quench my thirst

 

Hanging from a rope

Head held low

Hands held high

Heed this warning:

Happiness will always fade

 

Through the fire and the flames

It is where we come to feed

To torture - to play

Now it is time to smoke them out

 

Misery is all I know

All I have longed for

Happiness, a sin

For those who are scared

 

I stand on high ground

Fear in the air

You can try to bring me down

Bring the ruckus on

 

On my own

In the zone

Vacant is the land

Nothing but air

This is my home
