Hidden behind beauty is as ugly as it appears,
Reminiscing on old sorrows is another broken veneer
Sunken ships don't ever sail again,
Buried away, just a carcass of concealed pain
There's truth in death and lies in life
living in a limbo, an axe for a knife
A tossed coin suspended midair
End decided halfway there...
In the gallows of darkness
Do you stand confused?
Do you lighten a few shadows?
just so you can with diffuse...
You stand broken without the faintest crack
What cant be seen can neither be put back
Show yourself, for they need to see
The scars they leave on you, I and me...
No ones to know, for your shadows whisper away
The voices need to be heard on the break of one fine day
A ball of fire illuminates the sky
but the one within is slowly left to die?
Ripples of strength will flow and fade
Any blood spilled will be left unpaid
What needs to be done is to face it through
Laugh in the face of your aching blue
Am i to think you will cower in your shell?
Be chewed and swallowed in the pain you dwell?
Nay, love, nay you have a brain and half
You're above and better than silly riff Raff
Always a tomorrow, another day to seize
Battle of lights and shadows, a war never to cease
Straighten the folds to a white washed hem
sing along, sing loud "Carpi Diem, Carpi Diem"
