I lost myself in the chase. I have forgotten what it means to love.
This is no accident that I feel so dead inside. It is but a consequence of life.
We are all at some point filled with love and light; it expires.
But, as the years wage war upon us, we watch the love wither - wither and die.
Bitter souls now aging within the concept of hate. We forgot our compassion and surrendered
it for acceptance. Where our comfort lies is where the lies reside.
Lie to me and I will love you. Speak truth to me and you will be resented.
What does it mean tolove anymore?
This fractured society knows only the chase.
Forever we chase acceptance wanting only to be loved.
It is the greatest contradiction one can know.
It is love that we surrendered along the way.
It is fear and emptiness that controls us now.
I've given up hope.
Never again will I know love in a world so dead.
We have surrendered our humanity for what?
We have surrendered.
