Mourning Desperation

A candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long
But it would have been nice to stay forever
The beacon to my existence, now extinguished and I'm left without words
What do you know of sacrifice, what do you know of sacrifice?
But when it’s all said and done, the pain is far from gone
All I feel is vitriolic disgust for everything and everyone
I'm sorry if this doesn’t make you proud
But all I want is to see you again and I just can't have that
There is no justice, every foul piece of shit gets to live another day and I lose everything
Where is the humanity, watch me lose all empathy
In mourning desperation
So this journey may test me, but I'll keep thinking of you
I've got to keep stressing
This is not goodbye, not goodbye
