It was not life, it was never to live...

By Starshine

Is this life, this silent pain

this way to hide, deny life

live in the lies that are never on our side

lost dreams in an attic

look at the sunlight that never fades

pain and numbness, always for sale





Is this life, where this black hole is formed

chaos is lost in the storm's fury

the hate roars into the night

shadows steal the light

death seeps and growing

always creeping, always abounding





Is this life, barely breathing

pain and chaos, bursting ever and

caught in the snare of the devil

heartbreaking to the left

feel the pain, burning and

captures the souls of nothing





Is this life, this surreal feeling

Always bowing, always on his knees

ready for a thing, to be its slave

This is not life, it is buried and fixed

feel the chains, rattling

you silly girl, what were you thinking





Is this life, where I die slowly

no more tears, so I cry no more

no more people, not in my soul

end has reached its target

they gave me the death and

it was not life, it was never to live.
