What is wrong with life I wonder
For all we do is thrive before getting pulled down under
Or at least I do
And I know that there is no life without pain
But how much pain, how much sacrifice until we lose
Until we are deemed insane
How much more until we are utterly consumed
From the sacrifices of living
Tell me, do the seraphims deal with this cycle that blooms
Every time it feels like we\'re winning
Please, tell me,
Is there even a god above all the sinning
Because it feels like ever since I\'ve truly lived my life
There is nothing but darkness and loss in my sight
Nations starting a second civil war
Poor peoples needs that we choose to ignore
The one seed that blooms into a flower
Wilts and dies within the same hour
Until I scream and cower, \"Please, no more!\"
Not knowing what else life has in store
Not hearing the Ravens crow
Synonymous with the pain, singing, \"Nevermore\"
And make no mistake, I know the difference between fantasy
And reality
Know the ruse behind fake nepenthe\'s
Know the hurt a mother feels every late night
As she comes home alone from work, to make sure her child\'s alright
But why have to carry that within your broken heart
Why tend to the fire, when its already caught
Why fight a losing war thats already been fought
So what is wrong with life, I wonder
That it continues to tear everything asunder
Something has been wrong since Wise Men carried myrrh
\'Nascent murimur\' -
\"As we are born we die\"
A phrase that perfectly describes the chaos inside
A chaos that we lie
Trying to cover it all up with a pretty smile
Thinking its all worth-while
When we\'re really just breaking ourselves
Every time we pretend to be someone else
But at some point the hot inferno gets cold
At some point, you won\'t be able to feel anymore
Thats what you call death
And what I think about at every breath
Waiting \'till it claims me
Waiting to finally be free
To finally be at peace
To hear the whisper of the dark, bland waves
Lapping over the Plutonian shore
To silence the voices that scream and quake-
And shake me to the core
Forevermore.
