SUCKED OUT

I've killed many souls
But healed not a single heart
I have wounded a lot of dreams
But never supported any man’s vision
I have smoked people's time
And wasted great opportunities
The treasures of men which is unseen
I daily attack from within.

Beauty is for the mind
I distort and make their minds blind
I say, who is he and how can he?
Ha! Lo, he's gone and words 're bygone
Whereby, I've killed many souls
Forgetting that mine is also special!
What a wicked person I am
Pushing men away from the road of success
That same path I didn’t tread
I am completely sucked out!

Never dream when you can't remember
Never make plans when you ain't gona reorder
What's pleasure, if I don't bother?
And what's my treasure if I oft surrender?
Your treasure is in the unseen
Attacks come from within.
Thoughts of evil and despair
Thoughts of hatred and anger
Live within my little bosom
Where I quench my neighbor’s passion

I've smoked people’s time
And neglected many lives
Without a touch of love
Without truth and sincere care
How I wish I am different
How I long for total change!
All I want, my brother’s keeper
Not a prey, my brother’s eater!
