Reality

Reality

I loved the dark
I slept at dawn,
For in the light
I was scared

---

For I’m a prisoner
to evil,
For I’m a sinner to
reality,
For I’m a slave to
freedom

---

And the light can’t
save me.

---

From being this
person,
That I’ve created.
From giving in,
To my darkest fears.

---

For I murdered the
ones that I loved;
Twice in a day!
Twice in a day!

---

I can’t wash the
blood off my hands,
I can’t wash the
blood out the mirror

---

For when I stare
deep
It’s all I see;

---

The killer in me,
My killer reality.

---

For when I stare
deep
It’s all I know;

---

The murderer,
The one without
a soul.

---

So I pray like a
saint
And sin like the
devil

---

Each minute,
Each second,
Each hour.

---

For hope is a key
that keeps me driving
In the chariot of my
desired freedom

---

With heavenly horses
leading my way,
And my two kills
beside of me.

---

But I can’t go home

I have no soul

I dwelled in the dark,

And now it’s all I
know.
