When your life is spent only knowing The anger seeds they’re sowing And the only thing you feel are backhands and the lash Then it comes as no surprise When you think of a dark demise And you hurl all the trophies and the trinkets in the trash Everyone is… Laughing Ha ha. You fall down and bleed. Stay there. STAY THERE. We think it’s funny. Ha. Ha. Ha. Take comfort if you so care to wish, That they too will see their finish, Not in fire, not in ice, No good sir! No, our final destination is not that nice! It’s getting… dark now. People are no longer whispering, The stars are no longer glistening, We are cold and alone here, And neither devil nor god is listening! Slow, slow, slowly dies the light. Slow, slow, slowly comes the night. They say to laugh. Cut them all a little slack They’re just joking, watching tempers smoking, watching lives croaking, Watching our throats tighten, sobs choking, The girl hangs herself, the boy cuts himself, the room is stained in blood, The future’s become a dud, but hey, They were only joking. Darker now, too quiet, Could someone please start a riot? I’d prefer an earsplitting awful din Than this silent screaming of our sin, The sun is gone! Darkness in its place, no more light to see our face. This shouldn’t be, but ‘tis! Something is quite amiss People now grow frantic, Night is no longer romantic, Candles die, and in comes panic! Something has awoken But not a word is spoken, To keep the hope so token. They whisper as to what is happening, But I alone know- this is not a meager show The end comes swift yet slow Who made that noise? It wasn’t me, it wasn’t you I sense three people now, where there were only once two A stranger without a face! He’s coming for a cull Here to collect a toll For our mistakes our sins, the time we kicked that teacher in the shins He demands quite the steep price. Neither gold nor blood suffice, Yet he still demands a toll, Does he want my immortal soul? I think he does, but not one will satiate, He will want so many more, and that friend seals your fate. He’s going to drag us someplace worse than hell Hey, remember back then, how funny it was when I fell, Laugh. You did back then, when you first committed the sin, And I think it only fitting you’re laughing at the end! There is screaming oh so quiet Someone please start a riot! It’s too damn quiet! Tis the end for all women and men, girls and boys We could at least die with some noise! What is this thing that I’m now fearing, that I will perish with no one hearing? The stars… the stars aren’t glistening And I don’t think anyone is listening! Darkness utter black over the land! Will god reach down his hand? Does the master have a plan? Can God save us in this dark hour? NO! I DON’T THINK HE CAN! BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT THE PLAN! WE ARE NO LONGER FIT TO BE MAN AND HE WON’T SAVE US IF HE CAN! Don’t look at me like that, I wouldn’t stop this if I could because When I came home bleeding every day You said something retarded like ‘knock on wood’ ‘lighten up and they will too’ ‘they are just kidding around with you’ Those Are your words, are they not? Has my mind begun to rot? They might have been kidding, but he’s not! There’s a noise. Someone’s crying. More now. They realize we’re dying. You are too. But you know what? I’ve done my share of crying. My life has been about dying, slowly, slowly, slowly on the inside… And now people will know what its like to be me! So, pardon me, I’m not going to be crying, Because that’s no way to be dying, If I’m dying, I’m dying smiling, Because as you other people choke, I’m the only one who gets the joke. No one left to put us underground, what was done now comes around, I die too, that’s not nice, But I’m happy to pay the price, If that means you know it’s not nice To fall down, and people to say HA HA HA.
