i guess we're all cowards

too scared to face life

too ashamed to face its dark corners

we have a glimpse, go insane

touch our lips, ignore the shame

get inside, the world goes black and white

i can't get out, did i even try?

i became a slave to the shame

i try to fight, but to no avail

i became the shadows, became the pain

i try again, but i was already insane

engulf myself in a world of bruise and tears

i hold it in, that was the worst

i want to go outside

to watch the stars

but i can't

i see a glimpse of hope

a far away sin

i tried to grab it

but i wasn't close enough.

but did i?
