Dark Side

Hide it before they see
Put up that smile 
That everyone believes
Hide it away
Hide it quick
Hide it and draw that shield

Its alright
I won't tell
Of the silent screams
That lurk within you
hiding them so well

Just promise not to tell
Of the screams I harbor 
In the deadly hallows swell
Come inside
Come and see
The maze of thought
That left me to bleed

One in the same
We truly are
The ones that hide the Evil
Hide it so well
Nobody sees the tears behind
That made beautiful eyes die

At night they lie and wait
For our minds to drift away
As they see we let down guards
They leap from the shadows
Leaping so quick
And silently they slip through windows
Left unclipped

Burning claws
Clasping tight around
Our fatigues souls
Taking what makes us whole 
They make us believe
We are not worthy
Not worthy at all


Bound by the Evil
Bound so tight
Afraid of the light
In darkness we start to dwell

Bind getting tighter
Trying 
To fill
Succeeding
To kill

Here's my confession 
Here it is presented to thee
The one Evil caught
Along with me

You are strong
You are brave
To take a walk inside
To fight against 
The Evil
That kept us from the light
But little did they know
To each other we gave sight
Our hands clasped so tight
Together we fight

The Evil it shrieks
In anger of what it’s done
His own mistake taking him down
Never put two brave souls
Together in a hole
They will get up
And raise all hell
And keep on fighting
Till they hear the finishing bell
