Darkness

It's more than just the absence of light For men have considered it their plight And through their eyes as they see In the darkness is the place to be In prison I managed to learn a lot Things that can't be sold are bought There is a deceptive illusion in all we see When seeking "The other side of reality" Where reality is but a frame of mind To the humbling pain we are all blind Behind the walls it's so clear to see You seek the pain let the pain be me You look into the mirror upon your host Study the demons inside of your ghost To ever be able to complete your task You close them up inside of your mask Then against everything you love and feel You let your soul play the deal Lost in the evil of a single day Reality has one more soul to pay Underneath the watchful 24 hour lights Reality keeps darkness hid from sight As the darkness takes years from you Be careful in all that you say and do © 2007 Michael Jordan All Rights Reserved
