I've lost my strength once again,
There is nothing I can do.
This box keeps getting smaller,
I just can't get out.
When did the world lose its color,
When did everything become
Smoke and mirrors?
Everyone is so focused on getting lean
They've all forgotten to keep their souls clean.
I just can't seem to win this bout,
I try my hardest to be completely
Honest and devout.
I don't know what its like
To smile and gleam,
I don't know why this sadness burdens me,
I've lost all my goals and dreams.
My dreams clouded my eyes,
And I can finally see,
I need to fix this mess,
And I need to hurt less.
They say time heals all wounds,
That isn't especially true
When you're fighting in this war,
This war of love
That's faded and forgotten.
For this noir just seems to beget more
And more,
If only someday I could
See the color once more.
