Honestly
Hiding from my memories
Otherwise they'll submerse me
Eyes wide shut
They're all I can see
Honestly.
I'd rather be blind
Searching none for displaced air
Running out, getting nowhere
Child's play
Fate accepts my dare
Honestly.
I'm getting away
Clenching my jaw in moonlit glow
Breathing in the scent I know
Merely a stranger
Blatant trust shows
Honestly.
You're blissfully blind
Sleeping for not is a fact now
Lest no rest these lies allow
Hush little baby
Apart from motherly sow
Honestly.
She searches no longer
Crashing in the devil creeps
Yet this night my darling sleeps
Repose young soul
Demons play for keeps
Honestly.
They never seem to learn
