Prompt / Lyrics
Once upon a distant time in my past Searching for my missing pieces I’d looked in every single wrong place Talking to myself about right and wrong Justifying bad behaviors Sitting alone in my own self pity and wallow Willingly deciding to deceive myself Fulfilling every selfish urge Every time hating myself a lot more Eternity is a long span Knowingly facing hell and smiling Apathetic and slowly dying Going to extremes to feel aliveeee Digging at myself and ripping open old scars Laughing at myself and bleeding Self fulfilling prophecy Self inflicted self destruction Never knowing the promise to me I’ve since changed Learning of all my wasted time Hard lessons in the school of life reshaped me I transformed from a carnal being into something much greater than me No longer tormented by the hellscapes in my nightmares No longer feeling dammmmmmned! Once upon a distant time in my past Searching for my missing pieces I’d looked in every single wrong place Talking to myself about right and wrong Justifying bad behaviors Now I’m no longer a stranger! to heaven or hell! Don’t take my word for it! Just don’t try it! Don’t try to live it! Redemption can be pure at the end You gotta suffer to earn You gotta feel pain and torment Then you can only truly understand ittttttttt! If you saw the things I’d seen in these terrible dreams That plaguedddddd meeeee! That killlllllled meeeeee! That destroyed me! You’d be foolish not to grasp the hand of light and love to change as well! Now I’m no longer a strangerrrrrrrr! to heaven or hell! Don’t take my word forrrrrr it! Just don’t try it! Don’t try to liveeeee it!
