Suffering Made Bliss

Our hearts are trapped
 In a spiral of struggle
 Futile battle for another dawn
 Dreaming of heavens
 Heading south further and further
 Craving for peace - devoted to war
 In search for purpose
 In search for meaning
 But ending up with vile frustration
 For even the richest content
 And the purest of joys
 Cannot satisfy our hunger anymore
 Hearts like vessels, impossible to fill
 Leaking the blood, drop by drop
 Promises made by us for ourselves
 A spark of hope - shield and weapon alike
 To hide behind and to strike with wrath
 Yet the target is us and it attracts the blade
 Every thought we breed tonight
 Every chance we face
 Every choice we make
 They all lead us back
 Every dream we breed tonight
 Every chance we take
 Every choice we make
 They all lead us back
 Every scar we get tonight
 Every memory
 Every star and every day
 Day after day alone we paint the scars
 Layer upon layer and brush is the knife
 Day after day alone we paint the scars
 Layer upon layer and canvas is the heart
 Every thought we breed tonight
 Every chance we face
 Every choice we make
 They all lead us back
 Every dream we breed tonight
 Every chance we take
 Every choice we make
 They all lead us back
 Every scar we get tonight
 Every memory
 And this starlit sky
 They all lead us back
 Every suffering, every joy
 Every night and every day
 Day after day alone we paint the scars
 Layer upon layer and brush is the knife
 Day after day alone we paint the scars
 Layer upon layer and canvas is the heart
 Suffering made bliss
 A promise of peace
 Self-sacrifice
 In hope of serenity
 Suffering made bliss
 Prosthetic of peace
 To kindle a light
 In the darkness of mere being
 Thicker and thicker
 One more scab we paint
 To fill the hole again
 Thicker and thicker
 One more scab we paint
 To feel whole again
 And no one knows
 When it falls apart
