My antidote to the venom My smile behind the pain My hope beyond despair A Family beyond compare Cliff they’ll climb for me to bliss Never tired and never failed But ‘cause of my stone head Their heart reached by Blade Lessons learned I nailed in my head To close the wound I have created To draw back smile that I’ve erased And to utopia...
