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
