The light has gone and I can't go on
When I look inside I know I have myself to blame
I see the hurt in their eyes all the same
A short revival and then the crash
And thus the cycle repeats for me at last
A brief reprisal before the end
And thus the cycle begins for me again
The taste-once sweet-has lost allure to me
There's a beast inside, I keep it locked up far away
But it always escapes and repays
(Michael Rumple)
And then the lights fall dim and the world grows colder
Victim of a manmade misery
And with a manic grin it derives my torture
Ripping at the seams of victory
A short revival and then the crash
And thus the cycle repeats for me at last
A brief reprisal before the end
And thus the cycle begins for me again
