True Souls

I stand to see
           To see the rising sun
           Why stand? I sought to know
           To know 'True souls'
           Miles I've come
           Come to unveil the truth
           For my slenderness they ignore
           Ignore I from their mad dreams
           Subjected to my principles
           Principles that none know
           For I dream to write
           Write what none has
           Reaching to your memories
           Memories which to you are nightmares
           That one person I fear
           Fear to ever meet
           Have they not told you yet?
           Yet I admire their philosophy?
           'R.I.P.' they say to the gone
            Gone never to age
            What's the point?
            Point on what haunts?
            A eighth of your trust I need
            Need, indeed for a second
            They never sleep
            Sleep to they slither away
            Away to the deepest abyss?
            You better think again
            Again I reveal the truth
            "True Souls," they go by name.
