The Flower Of Life

Laughter

There he lies, the breath of life

Eyes reminiscent of a dead winter

A predisposition of madness is all he has

Purity, how lovely she is and now it's gone

A blight, from the depths of hell engulfs him

An eyeless wanderer, a gravedigger, a spineless harrier

Depictions of anxiety, all he has is laughter

Laugh and the whole world laughs

An answer, no longer must he go further

Here lies the end, and here he must wait

Eternal and haunting, he listens for the song

The voice of the damned, the hymn of the silent

The symphony of his life and the ballad of his dreams

Beyond he finds the stream, the river of a life wasted

He descends with the voices in his head



Despair

I shall be buried in the sound of my own voice

My dying is a struggle, the remnants of my desire

Allow me to show you how deep the abyss really is

Then maybe you'll see that there is no romance in here

All you'll have is this, the smell of decay and a corpse

You'll see no lines of inspiration, no lines of aspiration

All is dark, the stars are dead, and the sun is silent

Be merry, be joyful for all the loneliness and grief in this world

Use it's colors to add hue to your miserable lives

Perhaps you'll be considered a martyr, a saint of hypocrites



Grief

Let me weep just this once, let me cry for myself

This is all I have, my swan song in the dead of night

A forgotten line, the expression of my despair

As my laughter fades, so does my hope

No longer must I continue staring at the distant blue

Til I die, let me carry on, my stay won't be long

I am beaten, I am a man of constant sorrow

A truth covered in lies, deceit and a pretentious facade

I am bleeding out, slowly I have reached the brink

The floodgates have been opened, and it won't stop

Conflict, confusion, a thread of the walking dead


Apathy

She's gone away, and she's no longer mine

And here I sit waiting for a line to get her back

I wait for the train, imagining she would be with me

And it doesn't come, only the sick feeling that she's lost

Everywhere is nowhere without her

Memories and time, the sound of her voice

I asked me to love her and I did but I am poison

I kill the things I love and she is no exception

Now I have willingly come into this room

Silently waiting for the harbinger of my doom



Pain

Splinters in my head, a cut in my veins

The desire to let go and blot out the world

I deserve this, I beg for this, a collapse of my psyche

Enchanted, affirmed and reinforced that I am alive

Blood, sweat and tears, a corruption of the mind

An abomination unable to recognize potential

Perverse and forever tainted, you can have my life

Take it all away, let me breathe my last

Goodnight, goodbye, farewell, say it again

Everything has been snuff out of me

Have I loved? Have I lived? Do I even remember?

If I'm alone, then I cannot hurt anyone

That I am as quickly forgotten as I have forgotten

What it is to hurt and to feel the world

This is the house of death, where weary souls dwell

And here I shall lie, whispering at the mirror

Embracing what's left of me, until I no longer see
