A Final Slice of the Cake

A final slice of the cake A question asked so many times By the ones alive Should you or should you not take A final slice of the cake You must realize Before your body dies Your life is only yours to make A final slice of the cake Is there a deeper meaning Or is it just a simple problem You will see when you awake A final slice of the cake The problem that you see like a fountain is just the top of the mountain You only see the ice with your bloodshot eyes Even if you open wide you fail to realize There is stone beneath the sound, the roots are your burial ground The mighty reaper so grim and fierce hasn’t stalked you for many years You carry him around yourself and place him on your kitchen shelf Because you have gone blind, you see with your eyes instead of your mind Now think and wonder for your own sake, should you take a final slice of the cake? A final slice of the cake A question asked so many times By the ones alive Should you or should you not take A final slice of the cake You must realize Before your body dies Your life is only yours to make A final slice of the cake Is there a deeper meaning Or is it just a simple problem You will see when you awake A final slice of the cake You may think that I am your problem but god damn You are looking in the wrong direction, see the destruction I see you standing there every day like you don’t care With a knife in your hand and your blood coloring the sand But you don’t feel it, you don’t care, you don’t live, you’re just standing there How can you be alive with so much ignorance and still pretend to strive? I am trying to reason with you against your treason I am trying to open your eyes to the problem you can’t realize Slow and heavy I feel so slow and heavy The problem is not just yours but also mine You make me suffer because I care for your soul What the problem in your heart is isn’t what matters The fact that it’s there is the reason I care A question asked so many times By the ones alive Should you or should you not take A final slice of the cake You must realize Before your body dies Your life is only yours to make A final slice of the cake A final slice of the cake The weight of the world is dragging me down I will not stand here and watch you drown But I don’t know what I can do To remove the abyss between me and you The emotions in your soul are connected to my own With strings so much thicker than blood And I feel so heavy and alone Why have you forsaken me god? I wish it was nothing more than a matter of slices of the cake Oh how I wish upon a star that you would open your eyes And see the problem and find a solution, be awake Instead of turning your heart into ice See the issue in the end is a matter of life and death So much more profound than how much dessert to eat And yet food and the weather are all we care about So our souls and minds are free for our demons upon to feed The emotions in your soul are connected to my own With strings so much thicker than blood And I feel so heavy and alone Why have you forsaken me god? I wish it was nothing more than a matter of slices of the cake Oh how I wish upon a star that you would open your eyes And see the problem and find a solution, be awake Instead of turning your heart into ice But why in the end am I not cutting the ties I start to struggle when I try to find the answer Should I do what I can al beteken het mijn dod? Or should I cut myself down from the gallows? No I refuse be a martyr I refuse to be a saint I have done so much for you but it was all in vain The intention was for healing Not to be fed upon I refuse I refuse I refuse No I refuse be a martyr I refuse to be a saint I have done so much for you but you are in my way The intention was for healing Not to be fed upon I refuse I refuse I refuse And I have nothing left to say
