This poem is the outline of a screenplay I’m writing.

You've seen beyond the dark You've lived behind the light What is it? To you the truth is lies To you life is a crime Your lies make you survive Your truth is where they hide Dark rages deep inside Light can't get through your eyes. The secrets of the night love burned out of sight The horrors of the mind The torment you must find What is it?

Hi T.I.R.O - I'm experimenting with music making, and in need of a text I googled for poetry, and found The Torment. I would like to use it as the text for a song, that I might publish on SoundCloud. As you have the copyright's I need Your consent - could we talk using Soup Mail and I can give you a sample of the song ? Best Regards - AnIslander
