I Laugh With the Devil

Some years… passed
A side in dormant… hidden
Some time wasn’t asked
To see a side I’ve long forgotten

The spasm is real
The world no longer
Life lived to fail
Nothing is truth forever

Every reason misruled
Every existence denies
To heavens but myself I fooled
For every truth, there is a lie
 
That side of me I once knew
A side belonging only ever true
A forever world to forever deal
My coin to the devil, will I once more pool

Shaken without time asked
A side I see long forgotten
Was it years… pass?
Why has it once more be awoken?
