A Life Lived Lyrics

A lonely man in solitude, hiding from the world
His mind unwinds, to darker times, of when he was a child.
This man's father left him, and his mother died
Nothing left to lose.

Traps, set to kill, nothing less, for the thrill
Daylight burns his pale white skin, a life lived; he cannot win!
Bleak inside, a hollow shell, this man will die
Scream into the void of darkness; no reply.

Contained within, no heart, no soul, now bound by his fate
All his life, continued strife, now just filled with hate.
His heart ever-racing, anger at the world
Still, nothing left to lose!

Trapped in my cell, that I made for myself
Cut me loose upon this world, mind-set free, for living more.
Rage inside me shaking up this very sight
Sun retreating, daylight quickly turns to night.
Sweating, tremors, seeing red
Screaming still, disturbing thoughts invade my head.

Feeling weak, he seeks the voice of the loved who can no longer speak
You pray they will hear, but there's no guarantee
Questioning faith, crippling self-doubt
The not-knowing what's beyond infinity
I feel the pain, I feel the regret
There are those we forgive and there are those that we forget
With these actions they are freed in turn
Through growing older, I discover you.

Grinding teeth, bleeding nose
Patience fading into shadows
These four walls are dimly lit,
In a corner, end of wit.
Digging nails into his skin
Oblivion now pulls him in
No return for this lost soul
Now forever lost control!

A life lived, a life lived!
