Lyrics
Lifeless Irony
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Those cries, those lies
That tell the truth
Life's intention to open
One's eyes and see it end
Those tries to attempt
To abuse and hinder minds
Accusation for a crime
That's left only justice to blame
World's weak shelter
There's no security
How can I trust
This world that's turned
My life into an irony
This worthless earth
It's infidelity and treachery
Unjustifiable way to
Prove itself a failure
Piece of mind, serenity
Turns to insanity
I've been created
Into a person I
Never thought could exist
No need for thought
It's just plain stupidity
It's so unjust
They've chosen me to die
I ask why me
False truth can't be
World's proven itself
To be nothing but misery
My conscience
Once clear and so free
Has been incarcerated
By our laws of inequality
Not care, not fair, not free
[lead: Paul]
I've been threatened by my own
Ability to live
To end it all inside my head
Is nothing much to give
Immortal lies deface
My sentence document
I plead for understanding
Of this life I resent
Why...
[lead: Paul]
Why... Me...
My liberty been taken away
Laws lack of respect
My trust a revolt or
Mishap meant to be
My mind corrupts for a lie
Left only to infect
My life's just a lifeless irony
To end it all
I've abandoned reality
How can I trust
This world that's turned
My life into an irony
