A Song For The Optimists
Blow the last candle out. Let the wax harden
I wish I could stop crying. And I wish that someone still loved me
Just breathe and focus. How can I when the air is so cold and empty,
That my lungs froze right in my chest.
I'll be honest the silver linings are getting harder and harder to manufacture
And the smiles are so difficult to fake.
What do I have to do, or who do I have to kill, to get what I want. What I need
Happiness is an emotion I was born to this world without,
nothing pleases me. And i can never be satiated.
Through this toil I will breed my own distress and destroy my best hopes,
fuck up the only things that I love.
I watched my aspirations crashing to the ground, on the backs of the angels that I've slain.
But I meant so well, I tried so hard, gave everyting in my soul, to what end, to what end
Desolation, desire, exhale, pass away.

This manip is nice...The background and color scheme you impress me again and again...

"I'll be honest the silver linings are getting harder and harder to manufacture

That was the best part of that. It is so true within people in society today. I like the image representation. The wings don't look like they are ulitimately supposed to be there when you full view, but I like the concept. I like the nitty gritty texture too it. It kinda seems busy but reminds me of the old video tapes with the streaking lines over sepia tones. The pink as to the representation very well also. A great image as a whole. I'm becoming a fan of your art. Can't wait for the next art from you!
I hope everyone suffers because with suffering comes gratitude
