Restitution

Night falls upon our wasteland
And all wicked things crawl out
To light a bonfire of our broken dreams
Stabbed from the heart of darkness
Just to remind that behind all that’s numb
We still feel the pain.

Hope is a flame, bright and mesmerizing
Creating life then turning it to ash
Burning everything
No reason to look further
Faith is for fools
I have my walls so you just.

Keep on wishing
That after this endless boneyard
A catharsis to free us all
In exchange of all this horror
Just keep on wishing
If that is what is keeping you sane
Nothing in the end of your grayscale rainbow
Take it as your restitution.

Then it hits you
All the work
Every bit of suffering
At the hands of time.

All that you have put up with
Stood high up in the storm
Everything you have lasted through
There’s no reward in the end.
