180

I can't survive the times
Where I sing high but it won't last
And when it all shines bright
I fear the light will fade by night

The blurry faces pass me by
They run far from this curse of mine
And she who hides her crimes
I wonder if she could aid my cries

I feel the euphoria
Deep within the smiles
But before it's noon
I soon realize

I can't keep faces
From happy places
A smile can come through
But reapers come to

Rip all the greatness
From my last pages
A cry to break through
The darkest times of my life
One hundred and eighty

The ones who prey on light
Pierce through the dark and keep it fine
Are egocentric lies
The answer to this grime of mine?

A gleam peaks through the night of flight
With yellow roses growing far
I pray this city's free of blight
I've lost so much that I can't fall

I feel the euphoria
Deep within the smiles
But before it's noon
I soon realize

I can't keep faces
From happy places
A smile can come through
But reapers come to

Rip all the greatness
From my last pages
A cry to break through
The darkest times of my life
One hundred and eighty

I can't keep through the pressure of life
I can't keep breaking bonds with the lies
I can't keep being buried alive
I can't keep looping minds for the prize

I can't keep through the gamble of life
I can't keep taking chances on lies
I can't keep fighting on with my mind
But life brings a one-eighty each time

I can't keep faces
From happy places
A smile can come through
But reapers come to

Rip all the greatness
From my last pages
A cry to break through
The darkest times of my life

I can't keep faces
From happy places
A smile can come through
But reapers come to

Rip all the greatness
From my last pages
A cry to break through
The darkest times of my life
One hundred and eighty cries
