What Lies Beneath

Linger through the moonlit night Wear the mask and cease to exist A face within a swirl of mist extend my arm and turn my fist Red rivers flowing through my veins Yawls for an exit to freedom Scratching the inner of my skin The colors of my face drain By the shrill of trees dwelling within the mist Howls of wind stirs the soul with its every spin Eyes rolling everywhere with fake smiles and perfection covering their every inch Lots of copies rule over this world A cry of agony screamed my soul A yearn for this play to end A dream of truth Cast upon the mind Try to reach a point where every thought is a positive Until the day we crash Hoping for a lie to hide our very soul A simple three words Everything is okay! There lies the process that kills us all Through our soul it winds and steal our mind Mighty echoes of silent cries Rushes through the nights darkness and bitter silence With the melody of horror Down on my knees With tears flowing with red rivers I wailed in pain I wail in pity My reflection is my enemy
