The Eye of Heaven

Lyrics:
some friendships don't last for eternity
some fade and blacken into obscurity
some stray away from purity
some stay in decency
some last for a lifetime
but not in our life
some of the innocent and the ignorant
They die with the saint-less
you both take different paths
in the wrong directions
you smooched my lips in the name of vulgarity
i had another woman on my wrist
fingers intertwined
you distracted me from my vessel
with your beautiful mind
The Eye of Heaven shines
And lightens your hair
Bringing out your real colors
I see fear in your eye
i am stunned and petrified
What are we becoming?
Just the remnants of a past love catastrophe
I do not like
what we are becoming.

i wanna die sometimes
i don't want to exist in this moment
i want to cry until the end
i want this pain to go away
i need a god to save me
i'm sick of hearing about your adult problems
that don't concern me
the anxiety is eating me alive
why cant i get it through my mind?
that she'll never love me
all i wanted was a chance
to escape the restraints of your holiness
the psychobabble, the prominence
an impure state of mind, the lack of time
the paint in my chest, burning
why didn't i weep when my grandmother passed away?
i need these lifted off my shoulders
the questions, suggestions that over tower
that over power my ability to keep straight x2

My dreams are hanging by a noose
falling hard in times
i try to recluse
but i'm too weak
i cannot shine
everyday is a challenge
every goal hasa failed
but im not giving up this time
im staying on the ground
Oh whoa whoa
life is so hard
does it get better or worse?
Can you tell me?
my hopes are scars
you cannot cover up
tears flood the cities
broken dreams are laid down the alley way
right past me
i am shaking
hearts a'breakin'
i wear it on my sleeve
yeah
Oh whoa whoa
life is so hard
does it get better or worse? x2
Can you tell me?
Oh whoa whoa
life is so hard
does it get better or worse? x2
