You all know how it feels

awake but really not

while dealing with a shot

right through the heart

leaving its mark

fading to dark

as our lives shorten

we are not beaten

we are just weakened 

and now we are awakened

to all that is vacant

there are no saints

humanity is filled with hate

we realized this a little too late

and now that death is ever present

we are all peasants

in this game of misery

i am beginning to feel awake

i have realized the way

and now know none will ever try

to save the day

and i dont care anyways

this world has gone sideways

and inside we all cry

we welcome death

drawing cold breath

never risking it lest

we alter this game

and find an awakening

that leads to the meaning

we'd all be crying

we'd all be leaning

on one another

just so we can cover

how empty we really are

on the inside

there is no point to life

we are all doomed

right from the start

but we still have heart

we can take part

in this game 

of death

go right ahead and jump in the lethe

and maybe you'll lose your head

and then you'll be better off dead

does anyone care

anywhere

about this dying world

no

because we have faced the awakening

and we are all drifting

without meaning

and we are creating

what might be the end

so find your own path

and never look back

for standing in the dust

will be the rust

that follows us all

so we never stand tall

and when it calls

we all will fall

so never look back upon this life

freedom is your right

freedom is might

and we are all without sight

for we don't stand in the light

for there is no right

in this world of ours 

where we find our own purpose
