Kissing the Darkness

 Aggghhh!

     It's okay
         It's okay
             My love
                 It's okay

 I've been ready to die
     Indeed I die every day
 Never ready to live
     Not prepared to stay

 It's fine
     It's alright
         My love
             You'll be okay

 Okay, okay, okay
     okay, okay, okay

 A plague of mediocrity

 okay, okay
 you're wasting your days

 okay, okay
 you choose
     you chose
         to be a slave

 okay, okay
 these words mark your grave

 okay, okay
 what rotting soul do you stave

 The pain never gone
     the wounds never healed

 You've only lost touch
     It's somewhere. Somewhere. But not here

 Between bills and sunsets
     Mountains and skies
         Paper work,
             Calories,
                 Obligations,
                     Your soul hides

 You saw what others didn't
     A look into the abyss
         Kissing the darkness
             Reading hieroglyphs

 Comedian
     Joker
         Misunderstood
 Say nothing
     Be nothing
         It's for your own good

 To be great?
     To be loved?
         No, to be forgotten.

 Be yourself and dance in the rain
     Be like us. It's fashionable.
         We're all wearing chains

 We're responsible for pointing fingers
     We're responsible for shame
 So be like us and judge yourself
     Especially if you change

 We need a hero
     To chase down our dreams
 We've elected you, yes you!
     You're responsible for our screams

 We cry at night
     We're in the news
         We are responsible
             Very responsible
                 For assigning you our blues

 Our blues
     Are your blues
         But hold your own
             Boo hoos

 We have a wide selection of suffering
     You can have one, with anyone you choose

 It's energy, it's energy
     It's all just energy
 That's why the dead don't move

 It's energy, it's energy
     and they're sucking it from you

 The cost of living
     Is being alive
 The cost of dying
     Is being a lie

 The mask never speaks
     The mouth never moves
 They don't hear your silence
     But it screams inside you

 For beauty
     For greatness
         For the sake of being loved
 The structures inside
     protect what's above

 When you go out
     The soul dies
 When the soul dies
     You go out

 To the grave
     To the coffin
         When you're out and about

 The shame, the shame
     Carry our shame
 We'll pin it to you
     We'll nail it to your name

 Don't let us see
     We don't want to know
 Just carry it to the darkness
     To the place we won't go
