Life can be so meaningless and cruel Hurt and confusion seem to be the rule Why so hard, so merciless and mean To let this suffering and greed be seen Careless, tenderness from every fellow man Evil scorn and vicious spite from unforgiving hands No one to hold on to in the darkest hour of night When thoughts and shadowns haunt you Until you are paralyzed with fright Visions of a deep cold grave about to enclose me Suspicion of conspiracy in every face I see The moments of true happiness are seldom to be found I fear you death and want to live don't put me in the ground Ashamed to feel the emotions growing cold Such a cost of living with so many things untold Layer upon layer to cover what's inside The mirror growing darker, from myself I cannot hide
