Blow the last candle out… let the was harden
I wish I could stop crying… I wish someone still loved me
Just breathe and focus… how can I when the air is so cold and empty
That my lungs froze right in my chest
I'll be honest the silver linings are getting harder and harder to manufacture
And the smiles are so difficult to fake
What do I have to do, or who do I have to kill, to get what I want… what I need
Happiness is an emotion I was born to this world without,
nothing pleases me… I cannot be satiated
Thru this toil I will breed my own distress and destroy my best hopes,
fuck up the only things I love…
I WATCHED MY DREAMS DIE…
I watched my aspirations crash to the ground on the backs of the angels that I've slain…
But I meant so well, I tried to hard, gave every ounce of my soul, to what end…
Desolation, desire, exhale, pass away…

josephgugino 		Poopstick ninja is entitled to his opinion, but why put negative feedback, you're just pissing people off. People want to hear that they're favorite bands rock everyones ass off. And instead of posting as Poopstick Ninja, mature up, make a good name, and stop hiding behind your computer screen.

lethal 		my feeling on the issue is that no one, whos fav. band is matallica should be aloud to have an opinion on music. so no, poopstick is not entitled to his opinion

shockerdown26 		as much as some of poopstick's messages casn annoy people, let it go...hes entitled to his (or her?) own opinion. we all habe different views on music, dont fight people, just enjoy the god damn music and admire those that have the talent to express what they feel and play an instrument ( including the vocal chord)

josephgugino 		i said this once and i'll say it again, seriously, why would you comment on a song you don't like? why would you even bother to read the lyrics. if you don't get it, either poopstick is a joke, or hes ignorant.
