On the Other Side of Euphoria

Here i am
the only sign of life on empty streets
as the rest of the world falls asleep.
Here i am
in a time of need
and desperately close is nothing to me...
See, i don't want to just exist...
i clench my fist and think of tomorrow
and the opportunities i've missed
while in the haunting shadow of sorrow...

And in the shadows gloom seems to grow...
It's hard to see in the harsh light.
Time seems to be travelling so slow
and i'm caught in a continuous fight...
 
I had all the answers
but no one seemed to want to know.
 
So i throw the ignorance
to fall where it may,
and i go on praying for change in another day...
 
And i consider tomorrow...
Racing against time...
In the sunshine... although it doesn't matter...
Somehow it all seems tasteless.
Years, Fears, blood, sweat, and tears... They've been wasted,
but dwelling on the memories is pointless...
My tired mind is overwhelmed with mediocrity
and antipathy has all but gone.
Shallow people swallow the lies of a sick society
and keep on keeping on...
 
And Here i am
the only sign of life on empty streets
as the rest of the world falls asleep.
Here i am
in a time of need
and desperately close is nowhere to me...
See, i don't want to just exist...
i clench my fist and think of tomorrow
and the opportunities i've missed
while in the daunting clutches of sorrow...
 
Here i am...
On the other side of euphoria...
And my will is not the same...
It's been left broken
where the scattered remains of conscience were battered by blame.
