Menageries

We fantasize Of the afterlife When the darkness falls And we close our eyes The memories Will fill the sky Menageries of past times Oh, Oh the irony Is life is what's killing me We wish to know what follows after To find a meaning a for all this The spinning lies The haunting cries We legitimize an unwanted prize No one asked for this life To be mentally brutalized Thoughts of death, will dance They will dance behind our eyes Oh, Oh the irony Is life is what's killing me We wish to know what follows after To find a meaning a for all this My heart continues to burn My soul slowly withers I look beyond the stars But my questions Go answered The spinning lies The haunting cries We legitimize an unwanted prize No one asked for this life To be mentally brutalized Thoughts of death, will dance They will dance behind our eyes They will dance behind our eyes
