Life is so mundane and repetitive
Sometimes you need a reason
or a life numbing tranquilizer
That becomes the balance
to your overwhelming deterioration
caused by this repetition
It feels like an exile from happiness
A depressing figure painted on canvas
dressed in a black robe
Flames flaring up the background
of a man stuck in a corner
he waits for the fire to devour him
It could be any minute now
He's probably sick of hearing
the crackling wood thats smoldering
I bet he just wants it to end
