More Silent Wars

Of all the wonderful things 
and this is what I think of 
The days that die away
Dire toward

from a body painted like a portrait 
i now realize my days were worth living
and i apologize if my smile
is a bigger burden then you can bare

drinking death
maybe that's what belief is 
a journey of man to find himself

Having gotten over looking into the mirror at night
I find it harder to face the days 
standing closer to the carousel 
I see the ends in sight

fairytales give us something to believe in 
when this life becomes too real
I'm about to go watch a movie 
and pretend tomorrow doesnt matter
