Life of Loss
When I’m done with everything and everyone
I grab my headphones and blast away the day
As the light fades with the setting sun
I lie in silence wide awake
I wait for the sun to peak over the bay
I wait for the dawn to break
Leading to a new day
A touch of sleep would help in truth
Yet I’m too stubborn and the point is moot
I dread the day and fear the night
What must come
Will lead to a fight
Loss of life
Life of loss
So what if you’re different
It’s all the same
The public appeal never swings your way
You cause their eyes to lead astray
You won’t be accepted no matter what you say
No matter what you do
To all the others you have nothing to prove
Because you’re forsaken before you make a move
Before you take a breath
You’re a bad soul, a wounded warrior
The path you lead is death
Some shall pity
Some shall hate
I pity them all
Because they are denying their fate
Just as you are too
I tend to block it out
The static noise sounds the same
No matter what they say
I can see it in their face
It’s all in the background
I don’t like to think
I block it out when they speak
Because they are just as undefined as you and me
We can’t please everyone
So let’s please ourselves
In the end we are all we’ve got
Until we drag our feet to hell
When I’m done with everything and everyone
I grab my headphones and blast away the day
As the light fades with the setting sun
I lie in silence wide awake
I wait for the sun to peak over the bay
I wait for the dawn to break
Leading to a new day
A touch of sleep would help in truth
Yet I’m too stubborn and the point is moot
I dread the day and fear the night
What must come
Will lead to a fight
Loss of life
Life of loss
The demons shall remember
Everything you’ve forgot
You’re already knee high in their trenches
They’re already ripping at your flesh
So why wait
We know how this ends
