Sudden Life / Sudden Death

Deadlights

Compositor: Não Disponível

It begins as it ends
Born into the world out of nothing
And then you’re dead
Back into nothing again

This is a message from me
Something that I need to say to my past self
A temporal soliloquy
To a boy who likes to hide away in his own world

Hold on to your seat
From here things are only speeding up
Hold on to your dreams
Time takes everything

Take me back to nowhere
Put me back onto my throne
Take me from the here and now
Or give me something real to care about

I waste all of my energy worrying about what I don’t know
And always giving myself headaches over the things I can't control
I'm burning up my youthful days
And the curtains closing
But I can never seem to get away

I got a message, received
Something that passed down to me from my future self
Can you see what’s really happening?
The roof above collapsing in

Blood for blood
We’ve all got our demons to overcome
Everyone’s suffering
And no autopsy of my future self
Will get me any closer to the clarity I long for

I waste all of my energy worrying about what I don’t know
And always giving myself headaches over the things I can't control
I'm burning up my youthful days
On anything that I can find that helps me to escape

While all the world around me decays
I keep on searching, as minutes turn to hours
Fade away

Leave it alone
You’re on, your own
If you can’t fill that hole
Nothing will

It can’t be stopped
It can’t be beat
Time takes everything
It begins as it ends
Sudden life
Sudden death
