Sylosis-Blind Desperation

Fall into this nightmare we've built

Ripping ourselves from within

With a desperate cry

With the taste of sweat on my tongue

(Blind!)

Blind from this state that we're in

Blinded like moths to the flame

With a desperate cry

With the taste of fears we create

Failure!

Learn! 

Driven by what we achieve

Draining ourselves from within

And a desperate cry

From the promise of starting again

Die! 

Broken from where we have failed

Never returning again

With a desperate cry

With the sense of a life thrown away

In this fire we burn

Back to the light we return

I hear the dying screams

I sense the end is near

With a final exhalation

My soul is reborn in fire

This fire will burn

In this fire we'll burn

A sense of life is thrown away

We learn to fall and run away

A sense of life is thrown away

In this fire we'll burn

In this fire we'll burn

Back to the light we return

When people are desperate, it is easier to manipulate them.  In Hamlet, for example, Claudius was able to use Laertes in his plot to kill Hamlet, as Laertes was desperate for revenge after his father's and sister's deaths.  It was perfect for Claudius, who wanted to get rid of Hamlet without dirtying his own hands.  

When people are desperate, they are willing to do many things that they normally wouldn't, and even if they know they will regret their actions.
