Dead Souls


I had a dream once
But it was taken away
I'm not allowed to dream,
Not allowed to escape the reality of life
Its harshness
Its cruelty
And now I can no longer keep my dreams
For I have a dead soul
Even though my heart still beats
I have a dead soul
Dead souls don't speak
Dead souls can't stand up to them,
Who take away the dreams
And take away the hope
Hope for your soul
To come back to life

My soul can't live
Not in this world
My soul might be better off like this
Better off in the dreamless dark
So I scream
Yet the others don't
Won't
Or maybe just can't
And still I scream
For I lost my dream
And I lost my soul
They're captive and dead
Because the nudity is expressed
In this world you can't
You will be destroyed
In this world you can't
Vulnerability will be exploited
In this world you can't
Resistance is always broken
Then your soul is dead
Your hopes and dreams taken
And you cannot escape
You cannot leave
Because you are weak
And your soul's asleep
Will it ever awake?
Without hope
Without dreams
I don't think so.

What's it about? Idiot weakling.
