sempiternal pain


The day is towards its end Your hands are wrapped around your head Why won't the pain just end? Blame yourself for all that's wrong The days feel way too long The nights are far from calm Thoughts keeping you from a tired yawn You know why you're not dead Your life is in your hands Why won't the pain just end? Waking up is just a chore Leaving home is going through prison doors Your soul is restless With your eyes red Why won't the pain just end? Your life is waiting for a new chapter You know there's no happy ever after Every attempt to make life better Ends in regretful disaster A smile and laugh is a temporary mask The happiness will never last On your deathbed you'll feel you'll say Why won't the pain just end?
