Light Can Not Get Through Your Eyes

Desperation drives the bins Holes in the soul bleed in the sins Inherited sorrows weigh heavy on bones Expectation drives love to find new holes No matter what life deals in its path Lonely eyes stare at the dark dreading and expecting its wrath Tuned into the devil your heart maybe Life deals it luckless, cold, cold hand with one and only one guarantee. Follow that path and you’ll never be free. Stare at the dark expecting to see the light. Hear the silent screams of your life fade into the night. You may jump of Everest and expect to fly Then you hit the ground proving all their promises, hopes and truths were lies.
