Black Shadows

Black Shadows Pornographic images of destruction to a greedy mind Starvation of education and chivalry very rare to find Bittersweet memories becoming even more bitter Wovening hatred and lies our society the fitter Try to undo it again try to forgive them again Before the flowing memories and hate begin All our own insecure imperfections bleeding Through these scabs we all been scratching Lie to ourselves, but we know the truth at heart We let the world tear and rip our souls apart Lingering black shadows lurking in the dark hidden Created by our own mind to remember the forbidden Paranoia fear causing anxiety losing control of ourselves Praying to the ones we place so high up on shelves I been creating escape goat delusions like shedding skin Doing my best to erase and find forgiveness of every sin Death, justice, and truth I've been truly contemplating To find my soul and bring it back again needs completing But I've been blinded by the darkness caused by these shadows They see through me so clearly like they're looking through windows Through my confusion and delusions I want to find what it's hiding When finally my eye sees it and my heart will be truly happily crying
