We hide away
In fantasies

Where sweeter
Sins taste
Like butterscotch
Candies

To compliment
The bitter truth
Of our Malaises

But do we really
Know what
It means

When ducking
Away from
Bashful daydreams

The only thing stopping
You
Is
You

But hey
I’ve been there too

So used to the pain that
Without some sort of
Suffering
You don’t feel
Like you're in
The right mind
Frame

And that’s okay

But some advice
Don’t mind the
Time as it passes by
Because yes it's
True that time
Heals all wounds

Yet What they
don’t tell you
Is that it may
Take an eternity
To get through

So maybe tonight
Go outside
And look at the sky

Do you see the stars?
How they shine so bright?

Well one of them
Is you

And once you see
The only thing stopping
You
Is
You

There’s nothing you can’t
Do

I believe in you,

Feel the need to cry?
Do that too

I understand
I’ve been there too

But remember
We are all
Here for
You

In the
Illusions
I tried to stay

For
In gilded
dreams
The torments
Slip away

When peace
Comes
The chains
Will sway  

Leaving
The soul
A million
Ways to
Masquerade

So I ask

Asleep
Do I
Remain?

I know
I’m not
Needed out
There
Anyway

If only
You knew
How brightly
You shined
Against this black and white
World
Through my eyes

Dark iris
veins tainted
and seaside dreams
guide me into
your nights

When my veil
is thin, and the truth
is floating in the
elusive wind

I follow the noise
and seek the storm
for my youth evades me
with each passing sigh

Dark iris
and burning pupils of desire,
I follow you to the unknown
place of worship

I pray to the dark moon
in awe of the sight
and dream of him
in black and white
