Forgotten

Black sky Black night Blackness And moonlight Dark eyes Dark mind In dark clothes We hide Burning in our anger Drowning in our tears The ghosts of smiles linger Shadows of past cheer A hollow, empty smile Because we know That you all think We are not good liars And we’ll never Ever be Yet it seems to me That you believe That underneath Black lipstick and eyeliner My smile is quite dire You say my mind’s misguided Just a phase ‘ll go away Get on your knees And pray Forgive and forget, or so you say But God forgot me along the way And heroes never save the day You say that We all make mistakes So no matter what they do No matter what they say You lead me to believe It doesn’t matter what they think So here I stand Emotionless But I’m smiling Nonetheless Watching, waiting In the darkness Oh sweet mother, sweet mother Though I hate to digress It seems that I lost you And my father And everybody else I lost everyone Trying to find myself And so now with certainty I can say Villains are the broken people Heroes forgot to save
