True Colors

THE BLOOD HAS SHED 
IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME 
FEEL THE INTRUDING LEAD

THE DRAINAGE NOT OF MY HANDS 
BUT FLOWS DOWN MY BACK 
IT WAS ONLY IN THE SANDS 
WHERE YOU PLANNED YOUR ATTACK

EXECUTED WITHOUT FLAWS 
WITH NO ISSUES AT HAND 
YOU DUG DEEP WITH YOUR CLAWS
INTO A FACELESS LAND


YOUR FACE FULL OF LIES 
WHEN GREET ME AT THAT PLACE 
I SEE THROUGH YOUR DISGUISE 
AND REJECT YOUR EMBRACE 

THE WOUND YOU TRY TO HEAL 
IS NOW A GAPING MAW 
YOUR WORDS CAN NEVER CONCEAL 
YOUR TRUE COLORS I SAW
