lyrics

Eternal Darkness
Verse 1
The blackness is miraculous, but half of it’s confusing illusion of perception
Refusing to move in the direction illuminating us
Expecting answers you question?
Can’t rush perfection
And once the quest’s in momentum for the box of Pandora,
No one could close it up, for a moment or temporarily
So it’s the moment of truth, sparingly use your wits to wager your favorite of favored outcomes
How come? Wow come on, now son!
If I seek answers, let’s not be naïve
Now we’d like to think soul searching isn’t the blessing or curse it is, of course it is!
The coarseness essentially proves what you’re purpose is mean to be,
Assess your worthless existence eventually ascending me with perseverance mentally
Why? Well to be honest, because…

Chorus
If there’s anything that I’ve learned in your planet, it’s that there isn’t a thing acquired for granted
Because nothing comes easy, usually, but we think “must be me”
What we see’s eternal darkness
Internal darkness is necessary to assess the environment, if I’m confined in it
Comprehending enlightenment upon defining it is my intent
Defining this temporary darkness in spite of it to find some light in it

Verse 2
There inherently are times we stay forever clouded in the dark, and be lost
And never found it feels like I’m headed down trips down each dark road
Until I reach our globe, we call home we all probe with these false hopes that the result can’t be awful
And we’re all for positivity; the best
But all of it would be BS
That’s right, can you cast bright white in a bad light with a black light flash light
If you have sight, then you’d have to see to it even with a bad eye, you’d at last find answers you seek to get;
A green ticket one way or another, someday for the other
Delays are uncovered
If nothing else, expect that, so take a step back for sakes of set backs
Don’t take the way you’ve come to make a fake path
No matter how vain, it’ll come to pass because…

Afterward
Yeah, there’s a lot of darkness out there, and it can get to you if you let it
But I fear the dark no more.
After all, there’d be no darkness without light.
It may not be a happy ending.
But I’ve come to understand that happiness is a direction, not a destination, so I’ll keep moving. I guess I’ll see you on the other side of the dark side of the moon then.
