Darkness in Light, Sorrow in Joy - From High School

 Darkness in Light, Sorrow in Joy


Everyday I walk around and see every place I always do

Everything is just so boring, everything is just so dull

Now no one or anything makes any sense at all

Nothing has a purpose, nothing has a cause.


Things that appealed me in past years

Have been slowly peeling themselves away

Until the only thing that remains

Is a worn-out, gray senseless pulp.

(Like everything else)


As these things start to melt away

I try to look for more appealing things

But I find none, and when I do,

They quickly lose their happiness.


Some old rituals have been laid

To make this life a bit more plaid

But they're sense appealing, not to me

And disturb my thinking, disturb my own self

(Like everything else)


And suddenly I realize

That life is simply not worth living

Some minute things can be better

But none can be better overall.


When my body laughs, I don't laugh

When my body cries, I don't cry

When my body feels, I don't feel

Nothing's worth anything to laugh, cry, or feel about

(Like everything else)


I feel mostly imprisoned in a land of nonsense

In a body that slowly takes control of me

I see my visions as in a camera

I feel my feelings like a tongue


All outside of me is so unreal

All mirages, all like ghosts

Nothing means anything any more

T'would be so easy to leave it to the other people

(To everyone else)
