Never-Ending Lesson

All I want is in my lies That never-ending wish that I can save your life But there’s no one really there There’s only one more distant dream within a mirror of despair So perfect in it’s role To seat itself deep within the shadow of my soul Another answer I create I find the torch that lights the walls but provokes another shadow in my wake Death to my mistakes I calm myself and douse the flame to measure what awakes But I already know I learnt this lesson long ago All I want is what is gone So I picture love and prick my heart just to carry on There’s rarely something there I still have to fade and sacrifice to prove that I can care Broken into place The mask that hides my evil eye has dug in to my face It’s getting deeper every day The pain is forcing the evil eye to focus on all I say There’s no end to my mistakes So I light the way and carry on despite the lack of human trace I’m stronger than I know And despite the hurt and the evil eye I’ll never let the lesson go
