Have you ever felt like the world is against you?
And no matter how determined you are and
How much you persevere, you find it to be true.
They say twice as much isn't twice as good
And quantity is always going to be inferior to quality
But you people aren't even beginning to see.
You aren't seeing how twisted this world is becoming.
You couldn't care any less than you do right now.
Just humming, doing what you do, walking around.
And the sound of bitter lies seep through the mouths of these beings.
They supposedly call themselves righteous and full of wisdom.
But the world is yet to see your true colors.

The pattern is continuous and so repetitive.
It's a cycle, a sequence, a pattern.
They all know what's right yet they wander down the path of darkness
Following the dark one to his tavern
Who am I? I'm not that different except in one way.
Realization can take its toll on someone.
It's the point when you decide if you want to leave or you'd rather stay.

Have you ever felt like you can defy gravity?
Have you ever felt so invincible that no one could possibly ever touch you?
I have and that's the feeling that causes you to fall back really hard,
For it lasts for only a moment, a moment of power. And that's nothing new to you.
Look around and you shall see all the failures and successes of them.
Look at yourself and see how much more unique you are.
Refuse to let them utter complete nonsense in your ears.
Someone will come along and prove them wrong and make you their star.
The star of the universe, of his universe. And you shall see…
That's the only place you'd rather be.
But until then, do not close doors just because you are afraid
Open them and embrace the world as if it were your last day living.
Do it for yourself because all the while you could have left, but instead, you stayed.

As the heartbeat fades away
Into the silence of the room,
It creeps up on you and in an instant,
Sweeps you away like a broom.
Motions come to a halt
And just for a moment, time stands still.

You'll never see it again,
Not once, or maybe yet until...
No words spoken, no questions answered
Life now has no meaning as if it were deflowered.

He stands there looking at it all
With the snap of a finger it'll all be gone…
He's just waiting to answer to his own call
Because he knows what's done is done and can't be undone.
Knowledge in the present mind will mean nothing later
And as it occurs, not a human being can do a thing
That's who he is… He is the Taker
From him came you and to him you shall go
And you'll think, 'How can I reap if I didn't sow?'

The dreary atmosphere will give it away
But only you will feel it creeping up on you.
You'll beg and plead with him to stay
But he'll disregard you and your words and your wish won't come true.
And as you come, so you shall go
And they will never know…

A seed can grow into a tree
And just stand there mighty and strong
But for everyone to pass and see?
No, you are wrong.
The tree will provide shade to you when you need a resting place
All you'll have left is a leaf when it's gone
When it's withered up and died,
And one leaf is better than none
There will be no shady tree at your side.
So have you got your leaf today?
