A Wish To End The World
from Drowning In A Wishing Well by Drowning In A Wishing Well
lyrics
We could all pretend that everything is perfect here
Would you rather live a lie or a life of fear?
Tell me what it’s like to look through vacant eyes
A one way mirror with nothing more behind.
And if I'm gonna go I think I’d rather know this time.
All my hopes are coming true
As I enjoy the view from this cliff.
Pray to your executioner
But you cannot be heard from behind this veil.
It’s safer to fail than try
I think I'd like to send a message to the optimist
It written in a truth that you can't comprehend.
It’s a disillusioned daydream with a death wish for a life.
The writings on the of the walls of the blind
This profit over people is enough to let me know.
I'm a number in the system, I'm a nameless faithless soul
Take my hand and stare with me into my crystal ball.
What's the point in rising up when you know you’re gonna fall?
And now as I disappear
Overshadowed by the fear of knowing the truth.
Flames caress this empty shell of a lifeless living hell to exit existence.
Holding the threads of life.
Would you rather live a lie or a life of fear?
Tell me what it’s like to look through vacant eyes
A one way mirror with nothing more behind.
And if I'm gonna go I think I’d rather know this time.
All my hopes are coming true
As I enjoy the view from this cliff.
Pray to your executioner
But you cannot be heard from behind this veil.
It’s safer to fail than try
I think I'd like to send a message to the optimist
It written in a truth that you can't comprehend.
It’s a disillusioned daydream with a death wish for a life.
The writings on the of the walls of the blind
This profit over people is enough to let me know.
I'm a number in the system, I'm a nameless faithless soul
Take my hand and stare with me into my crystal ball.
What's the point in rising up when you know you’re gonna fall?
And now as I disappear
Overshadowed by the fear of knowing the truth.
Flames caress this empty shell of a lifeless living hell to exit existence.
Holding the threads of life.
