THOUGHTS OF DEATH,
RAVISH MY DREAMS,
OFTEN I HAVE REALIZED,
LIFE ISNT ALWAYS WHAT IT SEEMS,

WHEN SHADOWS HAVE CAPTURED US,
AND OUR TEARS HAVE RUN DRY,
WE LOOK APON WHAT WE HAVE BEEN,
AND OFTEN WONDER WHY,

PEACE WAS OVERCOME,
BY HORROR AND HATE,
NEVER HESITATE,
TO REALIZE YOU FATE,

WE ALL START AT BIRTH,
SO YOUNG AND SO PURE,
BUT THEN WE SLOWLY GROW TO KNOW,
THERE SURLY IS NO CURE,

FOR THE PAIN AMONG US ALL,
FOR ALL THE HURT INSIDE,
FOR THE FEALINGS OF DEPRESSION,
ARE THE THINGS WE TEND TO HIDE,

HATE BEHIND A SMILE,
FEAR BEHIND A LAUGH,
MIRROR OF REFLECTION,
AS WE SHROUD OUR BETTER HALF,

PEOPLE THINK THEY KNOW ME,
BUT WHAT I SHOW'S UNTRUE,
IF YOU HAD THESE THOUGHTS,
WOULD YOU SHOW THE REAL YOU?
