True change flows from acceptance The hardest of lessons it blinds you With its brutal starkness So you confuse the light of truth With the pain in your eyes Fear of reality shuts doors So alone you sit in the darkness In the grim fantasy of your immodest Boastful but in reality desperately frightened Illusion Molding your memorial out of suffering Pointlessly convinced that only destruction Could prove that you are still alive Although you'd be the first one to disbelieve Because you are simply terrified To live

True change flows from acceptance The hardest of lessons it blinds you With its brutal starkness So you confuse the light of truth With the pain in your eyes Fear of reality shuts doors So alone you sit in the darkness In the grim fantasy of your immodest Boastful but in reality desperately frightened Illusion Molding your memorial out of suffering Pointlessly convinced that only destruction Could prove that you are still alive Although you'd be the first one to disbelieve Because you are simply terrified To live
Hit me with the truth, I'll ask for more
