Blatant darkness
metal gates
swinging open
reveal my fate
what have I done?
who have I become?
a lost soul in a world
full of pain...
I Reign
chosen paths
wrongly so
can't go back
I should know
lost myself along the way
who will I become?
another day
slowly seeking answers
to the questions
no one dare to speak
I am brave to those who see me
but inside me I am weak
traveling spirals
down I go
madness mind
numbing so...
I Reign
in this kingdom
of self created pain
taken for granted those
who got me here (to blame)
spit on them
with gleeful cheer (again)
slowly seeking answers
to the questions
no one dare to speak
I am brave to those who see me
but inside me I am weak.
You lie
You cheat
You rape
You beat
You are the epidemy of my sorrow
today you take everything from me
drain my energy and come back for
more tomorrow
(why do I let you run my life)
you are the black abyss of misery
you're NOTHING
but everything I see
how is it that some remain sane?
never dealing with your pain
Never wanting not to wake?
when it's all of me you take
you are a dark enemy of mine
yet your with me all the time
your name alone causes me
so much oppression
I hate you with all my being
you are... Depression.
I grieve the loss of a little girl
swallowed up inside this world
fearing all that came her way
how she made it all those days
hiding behind the darkest eyes
her innocence unrecognized
so when they told her she was bad
she proved them right and then was sad
she learned not to cower as they came
calling her stupid a familiar name
she wept silently tucked in her space
if only she could be erased
she fought the battle that raged within
solitude her closest friend
but now this little girl has grown
she's made it through, dodging stones
obstacles they arise... still
she hides behind the darkest eyes
but some days i reminisce on my past
only to look in the mirror to see
the little girl has become me.
Dirty hands in water
wash away the stain
Dirty deeds done hastily
wash away the pain
No one knows the anguish
the hurt he must feel
knowing there's no hope
in a world that's all to real
He looks to the sun
hoping to go blind
so he can't see, the hurt
and the pain
the sorrow, the shame
but it's all in his mind
Dirty hands in water
wash away the stain
Dirty deeds done hastily
wash away the pain.
