Unlocked Doors
Reality, it changes
No, it always stays the same
You’ve turned too many pages
Please go back the way you came
I’ve become warped and weathered
Many pages left to write
‘Bout how “my heart’s been severed”
And how “day turns into night”
Many times have I cried wolf
When I say “cried”, I SCREAMED
This guilt, it will engulf
While depravation haunts my dreams
When there was no dangerous flame
I forever shouted "FIRE!"
So, when everybody came
They all yelled back "YOU LIAR!"
PLEASE HELP! I AM ON FIRE
AND THE WOLF, HE LIT THE MATCH!
These words do not inspire
And they show you all I lack
Look past what is seen with eyes
Stare into my heart with yours
You’ll see hope and love disguised
As cleverly unlocked doors
