Ignorance is bliss.
At least,
That's what we all pretend to believe,
What we all wish to be truth...
Though once the terror
Has entered your thoughts,
Ignorance is out of the question...
Glued into your heart,
Chronic nightmares never seize
Blankets of fear are all you have
As your comfort...
Jokers crack at your fears
As liars surround you...
Just to discover the ones you love,
Never really wanted you here.
And the ones you hate,
feed off of your tears...
Ripping you up piece by piece
To the point where you no longer care.
Breaking you down, taming your soul
Stopping only when you're left
With nothing to live for...
