Clap Along

I used to smile more when things didn't go my way I used to overcome the negativity of days I used to dream that I could make a scene Make a change for me Make the life I need Manifest the good in front me of me But life strikes back A sneak attack Hitting harder than I thought What's up with that The moments I live for are few and far between The reality heralds me to darker places than I dared to see Worst of all the suffering Pushes me Further into cruelty To hurting things That I love the most And cherish with my life I destroy in the hardest strife I often wish I could set you free Cause dwelling in it's a losers mentality The life I've built isn't what it's meant to be Malevolence has turned my gifts to negativity I often dream of a life far from pain Where brutality hasn't pushed me into the same Molded into a creature that I despise Twisted into a monster I don't recognize If i had one wish It'd be to be free Free from the thoughts Of spreading cruelty Free from the pain Of stark necessity Free from the life Of numb excess in me If i had one wish It'd be to have less Less thoughts With less stress Less hurt With less mess Less time With less guess Clap along if you're sad all by yourself If you don't need no one else To make you feel uneasy Make you pant nervously Clap along if you're running from the pain Or maybe just a former flame That you wasted most of Your time to hold on Waiting for the next day To bring you what you need Clap along if you're sad all by yourself If you don't need no one else When I was young I was taught that this world was good That things would go well if we behaved how we should But the more that I do and the harder I try The more that I learn that these people were full of lies Not intentionally I think they meant well They just wanted to escape their own personal hell And not pass on the pain they had found on the ride So they said it was good and furthered the lie Deeper I go Where it stops I don't know Clap along if you're sad all by yourself If you don't need no one else To make you feel uneasy Make you pant nervously Clap along if you're running from the pain Or maybe just a former flame That you wasted most of Your time to hold on Waiting for the next day To bring you what you need Clap along if you're sad all by yourself If you don't need no one else Where'd the music go
