Now I see what I didn't believe, Though I have conceived That our world is icy; Frozen, cold, but hot like hell. I won't fall in love with falling. I'll fall in love with me, I, and myself. 'Cause in my own eyes I'm compromised, Fed so many lies, watched my faith die And my hopes diminish. So long before we're finished But I'm getting skittish And nervous, feeling worthless. This seems so worthless, what's the purpose? The aspiration has been the pursuit of happiness. We don't need the stress to pass this test Just take a rest, go out and guess. Let others assess our intelligence. We'll play the fool, for they're the best of the best. Yeah, step right up and place your bets! Ignore regrets, never forget To empathize or sympathize, not criticize, Don't demoralize their strange eyes. Because you are unaware of what underlies All their metaphorical reprise. While some lives are filled with black nights Others shine bright like star light in dark skies. A bit of insight into my fright Proves you can't fight off your demons with a knife.
