Cast In Stone

The fruit I bare is rotten Everything I know was never mine It seems that I’d forgotten The truth is that I will never shine The placement of my laughter The hazy glare of my eyes The things that come right after Are all the products of a lie I’m the cheer of a graveyard After nightmares come around I’m the silence of a boatyard After every dream has drown My written words are pictures I see a thousand lifeless prayers I’m too aware that they are mirrors Because they are the only things that make me care I’m the shadow in the daylight After hope has struck my form I’m the love of every true night As every loss recites its storm I’m the nothing under your bed After you find you are alone I’m the darkness inside your head I’m just a monster cast in stone
