Darkness of Life

When you walk through life with closed eyes
You miss the beauty that is beyond you
But when you open those eyes and look around
You see the darkness that is growing, what is true

This world is a scary place
Not one of grace
Dip your fingers in blood
There is no trace of love
Guess what I'm trying to say is that there is no God
No powerful being above

It's an understatement to say that I can't feel
For all I see, all I have, makes me wish to find a field
A meadow, something, to make me create a new real
For this world of shit has no appeal

This world sucks so much
And I want to throw it a punch
Eat the curse of the world
Realize that you're just a weak little girl
Guess what I'm trying to say is that there is no salvation
No forgiveness, no perfection

And it's wrong to say that we don't care about this
Cause some of us cut ourselves to know that we still exist
For when the blood leaks out and drips down your arm
You know that you're still human for you still feel harm

When you walk through life with open eyes
You see the darkness that confronts you
But when you close these eyes and make not a sound
You see yourself from within, the truth that is around

If you close yourself off from everything
Then you'll live a life of being nothing
But when you open up your eyes
You'll realize the darkness of life

But if you hold on to love tight
Maybe it'll guide you to the light
Just stand up with your fists and fight
For we can fight this strife
We can fight this strife
In the darkness of life
