Light

So one more time
I ask the question
What constitutes the line between
Disdain and compassion?
Between the heart and mind?
Scrimmaging in lines of hate while combating a
Synergetic bond to which I'm alone
So one more time I ask you, how am I
To win this battle on my own?

In the wake of an infernal showdown
Sees only one escape alive

Just one last time
A vicious cycle
Where conformance begs me to subside
To mute a conscious
Cynical energy
Fuck the noise
And fuck your mantra
If life's a stage then we're all pawns
To the nameless tyrant
Who lifts the stings upon my back

Break away
A weight unyielding, oh
Now I descend to a place that I know
All too well

Shooting down through this dismal abyss
Walls collapse and congest from below
Premonitions mislead me from bliss
But this shelter is all that I know
Then just as my conscience submits one last time
I open my eyes to a bright peering light
And on my last breath
Emerge into a life, so divine
So blissful I could die

Now I awake
Alone and empty
Euphoric rift was just a dream
Fantasy mistaken
For what could only be a
Desperate attempt of ego to lure me to
A light of fabrication I would condemn
So one last time I ask, will I ever
Find serenity again?

Or forever parallel the status quo
A bitter fate

Oh
Show me the light!
Will I ever see it again?

Where
Where is that place
Where I was once detached and reborn
I see my face
Fading away
I feel my once young heart turn to stone

Shooting down through this dismal abyss
Walls collapse and congest from below
Premonitions mislead me from bliss
But this shelter is all that I know
Then just as my conscience submits one last time
I open my eyes to a bright peering light
And on my last breath
Emerge into a life, so divine
So blissful I could die
