We build things to destroy them

To kill our demons

The demons that act upon our fears

The demons that hide beneath our feet

The demons that live beneath the sea

The demons that mirror our thoughts

To fool the wise

The Wisdom that can be found behind strength

And a man may be be strong yet he has no real strength

A man's strength is his ability to stay silent

A man's strength is not within the body

Yet within the mind

A woman's strength is not in her bravery or courage

It is in her wisdom and love

A woman is strong when she is able to stand above the ground instead of within

Yet the men and women that chose to raise generations of history

Have no strength

And their children stare deeply into the abyss of the moon

The moon sends them visions

of what life could have been

And what it couldn't have

And the moon steals the children's smiles for his own

For a smile can determine your faith in life and end

It can determine wether seraphs should be caroused into envy

Or should be proud of your departure

But I,

I made happiness hide under

Stair cases

I made happiness fear me

I chose not to be happy

I chose to not feel

I chose to empty myself

Into nothing

I chose to die within the ashes

Rather than being reborn

My mind was too tired to continue this tragedy of a life

And my body was too cold for warm colours

I was way gone

And I had no one's company

But the demons

That fill me with regret

And affliction

They caused me to see myself damaged and dead

They caused me to stare back into my eyes and believe that I was the demon

They made me seek the destruction of what I love

To reflect what I see inside

Into reality

The authenticity of this world

Dying

Leaving me with the fantasy of my mind

The fantasy that awakes my cells

And that makes my eyes gleam

It makes me pity the dead

Where as the living where faded

Into the pollution that destroys our lungs

They became the smog

I so willingly inhale

Giving it the ability to do its killing.
