The Agony Chronicles
1. The essence of Humanity
I'll never look into your eyes
Deep down there is this world that I despise
How truly awful it can be to understand the essence of humanity
Your world is full of colours
But they are just shades of black and white
I don't see your love
I don't want your hapiness
None of this was ever just and right
You have to fight for your right to live
Fight for your love with sticks and stones
In the rest of your world despair roams
How truly awful it can be to understand the essence of humanity
I see myself in your eyes
They are just like mine
I sense your lies
I can taste the agony you dine
Every night when they come to get you
They haunt your sleep
Yes, they get me too
So tell me
Do you feel it now
How truly awful it can be to understand the essence of humanity
Will you continue to deny
What you always knew to be true
Crucifiy your mind for what you think you've done
Or just let it go and realize
How truly awful it can be to understand the essence of humanity
This song is for me
This is my soul
This for the parts in me
The memories which will never be whole
This is the essence of humanity
"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and
bleed."
Ernest Hemingway
