A Peek Behind The Veil

Curtains Close

Wrapped up in life but broken apart
I steal myself and harden my heart
Detached from self, others as well
And all the things they're trying to sell

A sideways future of fun and hope
Money in your face attached to a rope
Endless games, distracted faces
Turning to die in random places

Lost in love and low in laughter
How will before create my after
Destiny sought and fate received
Never what i want, just what i need

Two eyes to see and ears to hear
An uncertain future growing near
A part of the Earth, I'll share my fate
I face the love along with the hate

Glazed eyes longing to break the fog
Jumping for treats and treated like dogs
Locked in a game of hide and seek
The body is strong while the mind is weak

A soul wrapped up but broken in life
The scene set up on the edge of a knife
One step to the left and down it goes
A mind set free, the curtains close
