You just silenced the joker in me, The brightside to any occasion, The light to the dark just had a shadow pass over it. You numbed my very being. The world isn't what I thought it was, This life isn't the life I know; It just betrayed me, Took the trust out from under me, Now I look at it and wonder. Life is not the same, Now I see it all in a different light, A criminal rather than a friend; A two-faced, deceitful liar. Now I look at life and question its beauty, Its love, And its purpose. *I want to protect you, Hold you, Shield you from all the monsters out there. I wasn't there for you that night, But I will be watching, And life's sweet treats won't fool me anymore*

I LOST THE WORLD
You just silenced the joker in me, The brightside to any occasion, The light to the dark just had a shadow pass over it. You numbed my very being. The world isn't what I thought it was, This life isn't the life I know; It just betrayed me, Took the trust out from under me, Now I look at it and wonder. Life is not the same, Now I see it all in a different light, A criminal rather than a friend; A two-faced, deceitful liar. Now I look at life and question its beauty, Its love, And its purpose. *I want to protect you, Hold you, Shield you from all the monsters out there. I wasn't there for you that night, But I will be watching, And life's sweet treats won't fool me anymore*
