Blackout
Why have I always built to destroy,
I seem to have done it since I was a boy.
Labours of love, I have passionately built,
Only to smash them, and wallow in guilt.
Build then destroy,
Build then destroy,
Why have I done this since I was a boy?
Work t’wards my goals, achieve them with ease,
Bask in the glory, til I need to please,
The destructor inside me, that tears me apart,
Controlling my mind, and breaking my heart.
Build then destroy,
Build then destroy,
Oh why do I only get moments of joy?
I have many times reached stages in life,
Where I’ve had wonderful years free from strife.
But while I bask in the peace stability brings,
The destroyer lies waiting, to undo the strings.
Build then destroy,
Build then destroy,
Stability in life, I will never enjoy.
I have loved many times, it’s easy to do,
And shared my life, with a special few,
Until it seems, my happiness feels sound,
The destroyer starts lurking, preparing the ground.
Build then destroy,
Build then destroy,
He treats my life like a cheap little toy.
The destroyer is working on me again now,
But as hard as I fight, I just seem to bow,
To the relentless pressure, he grinds me to dust,
He seeks to destroy me, with evil black lust.
Build then destroy,
Build then destroy,
How can I beat him, what can I employ?
I know my heart’s full of compassion and care,
And I love to be loved, and I’m willing to share,
All the joy that I feel when I’m free of this beast,
But it’s on my loved ones hearts that this animal feasts.
Build then destroy,
Build then destroy,
I have just wanted love since I was a boy.
So strangers beware, as I enter your beat,
That you don’t offer to me, a comfortable seat.
For if I stay for a while and capture your trust,
Your hearts may be prey, for my destroyers black lust.
Build then destroy,
Build then destroy,
Watch out for me, the destroyers decoy.
