What is the answer to life?
The meaning of all we do?

The reason why we traverse this world,
...

Sometimes I feel sad,
Like blue waves washing off the shore

Sometimes I feel empty,
...

If I close my eyes,
I can forget all the lies,
those painful words you've said.
...

Oh dear, it's a pity,
I guess you'll be an adversary.

I tried to tell you, but you just wouldn't listen.
...

How much is giving up?
How much do I have to take?

All the doors are closing shut,
...

If emotion was a colour,
It would be dark.
Just like the mid-night sky.
With birds that soar,
...

Silence is a knife with double edges
Sound is a blade with sharp handles

Socialization is bar, with no end in sight
...

I had a friend
Who liked to spend
Their time without a mask.
And I told them that,
...

Defenestration.
What a beautiful word.

From a looming tower
...

I have someone I really adore
And this is something I absolutely cannot ignore

Though not someone from up above
...

I had everything I loved
And everything I needed

So I took my gun
...

Death is a mystery,
A never ending story.
When will we live?
When will we die?
...
