[Intro]
Can't escape the blackness
[Verse]
Imagine living, breathing with no meaning
Bothered out of boredom, the reason for your being
What a masterpiece
Lo and behold, the egos grown so bold
As we grow old, the soul runs cold
I watched you fold, sold for silver and gold

We're so happy, you're so edgy
Settled on sadness, so ready for the blackness
Self-made misery leaves you buried
Settled in sadness, you can't escape the blackness

We're so happy, you're so edgy
Settled on sadness, so ready for the blackness
Self-made misery leaves you buried
Settled in sadness, you can't escape the blackness
[Outro]
You cannot, you cannot
You cannot escape it
You cannot, you cannot
You cannot escape it
