The Messenger

(Spoken) The messenger came out of nowhere The name was clear yet unreachable All around us and we had never even thought to look It was tearing us apart This is the fact: the message is clear You cannot deny it, they are here The reminder was vague, oh, the lesson so glorious Our hearts were made for a much higher purpose You wouldn't think that everything happens for a reason The grief, the meet, the kiss, the fight, the break, the tears, the lies, the knife Stay away from the emergency exit We aren't quite done yet We stared and stared and stared into those blank eyes It is burning; the messenger was here "Be careful of that mind of yours," they say "It can play tricks on you when you're lead astray." Pollute the mind and you're asking for it Thinking that life matters is an understatement There is a larger war going on than guns and missiles And it is too close for comfort I have found deeper meaning in this game I have found deeper meaning And I'm scared to hell because of it But I know, I will not look away Fear is another way of saying that you too have realized the deep secrets of mankind And if there were a reward for winning the game: You will simply be left behind We stared and stared and stared into those blank eyes They were burning; the messenger was here "Be careful of that mind of yours," they say "It can play tricks on you when you're lead astray." Pollute the mind and you're asking for it Thinking that life matters is such an understatement There's a larger war going on than guns and missiles And it's too close for comfort It is too close for comfort This is the fact, the message is clear: You cannot deny it; He is here
