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.
Not a real knife.
