A Molten Heart

Do you ever experience that feeling,
Of things unknown, yet known to come?
When you feel the opposite of déjà vu, 
When the present is the past,
And the weight of the whole world is upon you?

So is this real life? Is this what its come too?
Our mentality now is morphed into something dark,
Something deliberate, something that looks for weakness,

And now we can't even hope for treatment,
'cause everyone knows... you just can't fix destiny...

So the only thing I can say today is this:
The closer you are to what you want,
The farther you are from what you need,
And at the end you're left with a simple taunt,
"Is this what you want? Is this why you bleed?"

And sometimes you're left to fight your own fights,
To claw your way to the top,
To battle for your own rights,
And yet no one helps you out,
Because there is no knight in shining armour for us,
Sadly, We… are the forgotten ones.

And then I hear people plotting all over the world,
Even when you're lying in a corner, broken and curled,
Whispering behind each other’s backs,
And everyone becomes so busy in trying to cover their tracks,
that they all start to live lies... So many lies...

This is why everyone is always stressed,
Always tensed, in need of peace,
We search for it everywhere in the world,
Chasing worldly happiness, but it never works,
Why not? its because we don't really know what we want,
What we want is Inner peace.

So the next time you buy something,
Spend money, get that momentary pleasure,
Try to look at yourself in the mirror,
Try to think about what you've become,
And try to see what your humility has overcome.

That's what happens when you face the moment,
When every opportunity seems golden,
When your soul becomes your seal,
And When your heart is molten, 
And you ask: Who moulds it back into something real?
