Tale of Hexed Demise (All for Nothing)

Winding backstreets, steady little back beat Living out my backseat, everything's distracting Colour's start to bleed, flashing through the hazy screen Seconds to eternity, interwoven tragedy That's how the story goes, the hero trades his blows Oh, what a life he could've known with a new perspective Disregard the growing sense of resentment Light refracting, catch entangled strands of green Framing your face perfectly, heaven's bid at earthen breed Uplifting to perceive, like a final movie scene Soul-atoning majesty, so tightly in your grasp, it seems Still yet you empathise, the hurt behind those eyes But therein lies the reason I can stand to contend with A list of lovers that tender feelings of resentment A plight to set alight the rebels, fight to settle tides and set the means By which to emphasize that, when it's right, we bet our lives and bet our dreams As hopeless as it seems, we comb through acid dreams Just filling up these manuscripts with endless tragedy For only you to see, if only you could truly know Method acting, pessimists exacting Predicated hack schemes on unknowing attractees Treat the agency of a willing maid-to-be With absolute contempt and greed and never let their hatred cease Those predatory vibes just leave us ostracized He could've known another life with a new perspective Yet left alone, the coward'll never know repentance Pride enacting, while desperation's stacking Misery advancing, yet pleasantries are lacking A stringent absentee, vacant smiling effigy An effort to evade a label bred from that complacency Still yet they cling to lies, a tale of hexed demise But therein lies the reason i can stand to contend with Potential lovers that tender feelings of resentment A plight to set alight the rebels, fight to settle tides and set the means By which to emphasize that, when it's right, we bet our lives and bet our dreams As hopeless as it seems, we comb through acid dreams Just filling up these manuscripts with endless tragedy For only you to see, if only you could truly know
