Portraits of Pain

Portraits of pain

Painted in

That pretty little head of yours

The wasteland

That all your dreams tour

You sweat it out

The sheets are soaked

Your intentions cloaked

Constantly

Presenting falsities

Expected by society

The world left senseless

By its rose colored lenses

 Now reality starts to set in

This life and all its dirty little sins

The truth behind the scenes

Uglier than the face of disparity

Portraits of pain

Calling out

To that tiny little

Voice inside your head

The one

That makes you regret

Every single word you've said

One more story to tell

And then you'll be dead

Portraits of pain

The blinding light

That's keeping you awake

The unstoppable force

That preps your soul to take

Hold on tight

There's no more time to waste

Portraits of pain

To keep you in your place

The darkness

That helps you hide your face

The unstoppable lies

That make this right

The waste of time

That is your life

If a picture is worth

A thousand words

Then these portraits of pain

Paint your entire world

How they illustrate

Everything you hate

These

Portraits

Of

Pain
