After All
I used to look back
Because those were brighter days
But that was before I sat myself down inside the chaos
Before I let myself be absorbed into the darkness that surrounded me
My heart isn’t made up of brighter days
After all
It’s made up of hostility and hatred
Shattered hopes and dying dreams
It’s as dark as the day when the sun finally burns out
I’m burning out
Spinning in circles only fans the flames
I’m so full of fury
That it drips off my brow like sweat
Fueling the anger that runs hot beneath my skin
Filling these empty voids with memories like tinder
As I set fire to all the good I’ve kept within
My heart isn’t made for brighter days
After all
Not with all the darkness that it’s soaked in
