Persistent Woes

Seems the sadness never fades
I recoil back to the safe shade
Sick of people playing masquerade
The quality of life declines in grade
No reason to be stuck in sadness
It truly feels like madness
These silly lines and foolish rhymes
That I repeat over a thousand times
Relief never resides for long
Nothing's right, anything's wrong

Persistent woes
My heart's foes
The end is not in sight
Nowhere is the light
Forever stuck in the night
Where's the promised white?
Alas, here comes the dark knight

Authenticity is a gift
An easy way to sift
Friends from adversaries
Yet to the contrary
My heart is black as the raven
The end of the day is in the grave
Where the white aligns with the dark
Towards the end there is no spark
Alone in death as one is in life
Slit, slit... and there goes the knife


Persistent woes
My heart's foes
The end is not in sight
Nowhere is the light
Forever stuck in the night
Where's the promised white?
Alas, here comes the dark knight

As the corpse descends to hell
They describe how I fell
Not enough Bible, too much sin
The end started when I begin
The fools detail my final flaws
Ignoring the real and the raw
My life left to pastors and ashes
Jesus, come faster and take my lashes

Persistent woes
My heart's foes
The end is not in sight
Nowhere is the light
Forever stuck in the night
Where's the promised white?
Alas, here comes the dark knight
