It is a mystery,
The way you see me.
No matter how hard,
I try to show you.
There's nothing left here,
There's no more reason,
There's no more spark,
There's no more fire.
I won't forgive you,
So don't you follow.
Set your own course,
To make things right.
Don't make me hate you,
Don't make me shudder,
You want your own way,
Make that your fight.
Don't do what I do.
Don't do what I say.
Don't think how I think.
Don't make what I may.
Don't live how I live.
Don't dream what I dream.
Don't hope like I hope.
Don't feel like I've felt.
Don't love like I've loved, but hate as I will.
Don't fight the system, don't be as I am.
Don't hurt like I hurt, don't play like I play.
Don't bleed like I've bled, you don't want this pain.
Don't be like I am, Don't dance like I dance.
It starts with yearning,
The need inside you,
Like embers burning,
to be let loose.
I've lost that feeling,
my head is reeling,
my spirits broken,
I'm out of time.
It won't destroy you,
So I implore you,
To fight your own fight,
To make your way.
This time is fleeting,
We're all competing,
Hold on to something,
get through the day.
The light is lost, the light is lost, the light is lost, the light is lost,
The light is lost, the light is lost, the light is lost, the light is lost
Don't do what I do.
Don't do what I say.
Don't think how I think.
Don't make what I may.
Don't live how I live.
Don't dream what I dream.
This light is lost, this light is lost.
Don't hope like I hope.
Don't feel like I've felt.
Don't love like I've loved, but hate as I will.
Don't fight the system, don't be as I am.
The light is lost, the light is lost.
Don't hurt like I hurt, don't play like I play.
Don't bleed like I've bled, you don't want this pain.
Don't be like I am, Don't dance like I dance.
The light is lost, the light is lost.
The light is lost, the light is lost, the light is lost, the light is lost,
The light is lost, the light is lost, the light is lost, the light is lost
