If Only the Sun Would Hide

If only my dreams could escape into truth
My mind, it seems, I’m going to lose
Whatever happened to long walks and short?
My life right now is a blurry distort

Laughing and singing were just a curtain
Hiding, prying me away from the subconscious burden
But our flowers wilt, and away they die
Liquid depression seeps away from each eye

Through the silence I see 
But just don’t record
The light that could never be
Now locked behind her closed doors.

The sun refuses to hide
Though it’s pouring outside
The sky is a dark black hole
Nonexistent to the living world

The world is a bright place
But just at what cost?
My mind, it seems,
I have somehow already lost.
