Existence

Title: Existence Words & Music By: Scott Carpenter & Rick Denzien I wanted to know about the shallow existence I called living So, I went down to local the places Where the most alive were supposed to go But all I saw were skeletons, and hollow shells walking corpses Who sold their lives for a twenty-dollar thrill I stumbled through the mannequins, desperate to find a glimpse of freedom But the farther on I stumbled the harder any path became to find Deafened by the music choked by the smoke Shattered by the laughter Unable to distinguish any truth from any fantasies and lies. Is this all I have to look forward to? Death on earth to prepare for death below Can it be that I have lost myself? Or was I never me at all? But round this time, I heard a voice behind me and it seemed to taste of freedom It said there was light if I would only turn around the other way And though I was sure I looked that way a million times before I turned and blinked the light I saw illuminated like the brightest day The breath of real life was breathed into my soul And now there is sunlight wherever I may go © & ⓟ MMXV – Slot One Entertainment, Inc. – ASCAP - All rights reserved
