where's that damn peace?

I can't find peace in running away from what disturbs it (besides, that'll only exhaust me eventually).

I can only find peace in clearing the mess that disturbs it.


I can't find peace outside of myself.

I can only find peace within myself.


Still, though, I'm asking: WHERE THE FUCK IS PEACE!?

'Cause I look inside and all I see is an abyss. Darkness.

So I close my eyes,

like a young boy who fears discovering monsters in his closet.


The monsters are only scary if

you paint them from the place of fear. But

what do they really look like?

It's the shadows of our past

that we've pushed away and tell scary stories about.


Thus, we created our own little hell

that guards the way to our heaven.


And we're asking

WHERE'S PEACE!!!?


Crazy children that don't know better

because no one told them

that those ugly, scary monsters

that wrap their slimy tentacles around our heads and chests

are our future friends.

If only we don't drive ourselves to death first, with the fear of them.


They only ask for love.

Yet we keep denying them.

Like a clueless parent.

Who will clue us in?
