Children With Masks

Broken in your shadow And lost within your light The child who chooses ego And the man who wants to fly Embracing every sanctum Which enshrines your dying cause To be the one to save you And forget those scars and sores The love you now desire The only good you've known Will end with how it started In the pain that you have grown With loneliness now clinging Your memory rotting out You chase the same old reasons That will make you scream and shout Your heart now lacks forgiveness For what you have become The spiral-end of nothing Mistaking blindness for the sun A visage of perfection This man is just a mask It reflects your hate on others As the child selfishly attacks
