Agony Lyrics by The Effection

Soundtrack to a Moment

0

Did you ever wonder why
When the whole world is sleeping, you're awake?
And you're lying there in the harshness of silence all alone
Did you ever wonder why
When the whole world is calling, you're not there?
You're off into a momentary lapse of life, and they all go on living, but you just stare
Maybe life is just a novel novelty, I just can't say
Maybe ignorance is bliss, and we're all better off this way
Or maybe there's a sublime subtext, hidden history
That I just can't see in a life of agony
Did you ever wonder why
When the universe haunts you like a ghost
In your head a hundred million voices blare?
They're talking about nothing much at all
And when the sky glows gold in summer afternoons, that hint of haze
And gold has been the reason that so many wars are waged
The irony, it burns me like the sunlight on my face
I just can't say in this life of agony
Whatever happened to the satellite we knew
That spins around a flame, a star that has no name?
Well, they demanded we learn that with desire we burn
Then promise us eternal flame, but did you ever wonder why
Mother Mary, matriarch, pleads with her children "do no cry"
While the figureheads of state create the reasons young men die?
If I have to leave this place, please understand why I can't stay
Because I have to get away from this life of agony
This life is agony
