Tired of this cover-up life.
The need to be comfortable in my skin.
Wanting a picture perfect world
No satisfaction achievable within.
Using a pencil to draw things straight.
Using shadow to demonstrate – my feelings.
Tired of this mask that grins
There’s no washing it away I’ve tried.
Hidden beneath the false surface
No transparency visible with eyes.
Using a pencil to draw things straight.
Using shadow to demonstrate – my feelings.
Now listen to what I have to say
For the wicked hide in the shadows of this day
You know nothing of what is of me
You may know the color of my eyes
But not of what they are capable to see
Now here, I've warned this upon you
For not every smile is ever true
Everything is not set in stone
You may say there is an answer
When nothing is completely known
Close your eyes, please understand
That what you may rely on is a blood-thirsty hand
Unknown of what they truly are
Watch think before you turn and talk
Someone so close to you can be so far
So remember before you go on and say
"But why would anyone do this to me anyway?"
Human nature can be full of evil and greed
Unwatched, A monster born within the shadows, full only of self pleasure and need.
Dark night, bright moon,
you lit my heart on fire.
scorching sun, you have given me purpose,
it lifts me higher.
drift into sleep, I'm wishing to see you in my dreams...
at least I can feel you there..
I miss the way you'd push back your hair..
off to the side when you just don't care..
the taste of June..
the scent of July..
the warmth of August..
September i'll always remember.
October is way worth to forget.
feeble, faint...
painting a portrait with this soul that reminds me of you,
smudged & running..
is this all now but a delusion...?
I can't help but question...
please precious smile, stay with me for a long while.
eyes so piercing..
i'm sorry I can't stop myself from recapping..
it's breaking me apart inside
but i'll hold myself together & stick around for the ride..
shallow waters.. low tide.
stop trying to pry open my head..
i'll keep shaking you off to the side, instead..
if you can't understand these petty complexes..
i'm not the only one going crazy.
i'm not asking you to save me..
