Now in a future of hopeless despair
You met me vibrant in my own world,
that was when you proposed your sick love,
Like a red-hot magma on seawater;
you blew open my brain and I could no longer think.
Now I meander like a mad man.
You started playing a despicable hide and seek game,
when you knew too well my heart is very fragile.
A little spark and it would dim the sunlight shining in my life.
Yet you still went ahead to break my heart.
Now the sky that brought me hope has now totally collapsed,
The stars, the moon and the clouds you once promised have all disappeared.
Even the ground no longer hold my stand.
I am into stimulants now,
just to maintain my innate sanity and peace of mind,
But instead, it floats my mind and set my brain on fire.
I beg to stop but the devil's smile was too appealing.
All my treasures have been powdered and smoked.
I even plundered more to keep it going.
And there you are now riding big cars, living in a big mansion.
Your beautiful family throws some dirty notes when they pass by.
You killed my future whilst building yours.
Now I am in a future of hopeless despair.
I know you will get to read this my melancholy one day,
But by then my spirit will be ashes in hell's fire.
