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
