# Absence of Light

Do you know fullness, if you have never starved?  
Or feel affection if you never broke a heart?  
Is it not human to rip or take apart?  
Is kindness a fine art?  

I made a friendship, then told them that I lied.  
I made a family and then pushed them aside.  
All these reactions, I feel them in my wires.  
It's eating me inside.  

Harnessed  
Lacking a spirit I'm a metal carcass  
Intrigued to know if smiles are meant to harm us  
Is it a lack of hate that causes fondness? Catharsis?  

I just need some patience  
I need to know what turns cheers into silence  
How did we find out love if we're so violent?  
Is it all just an absence? An absence of light?  

(Don't know what is love, if I don't know what is pain, if I don't know what is  
love...)  

Is it not natural to lie and falsify?  
Is it not normal to adore then say bye bye?  
Endless curiosity. I'm mortified.  
Should my being be torn aside?  

Feelings of conflict, they're out of my control.  
I am commited to know what makes you whole.  
I'll walk through fire, so I can reach my goal.  
To understand this human soul.  

Harnessed  
Lacking a spirit I'm a metal carcass  
Intrigued to know if smiles are meant to harm us  
Is it a lack of hate that causes fondness? Catharsis?  

Regardless  
This void inside of me now feels obnoxious  
Does hate really see love as an accomplice?  
Refuse to be heartless.  
Is this feeling there to warn us of the darkness  
Can I finally see all of the harshness?  
To be placed in this world and see it wants us  
to avoid this absence, the absence of light?  

(Don't know what is love if I don't know what is pain...)  
(Don't know what is love if I don't know what is love...)
