You clawed away at my masks
Layer after layer had been shed...

It used to be simple
Black and white...

A million other people stand in this very line
Feeling the exact same emotions I did each time...

The sky rips open as rain falls from its hole
The thunder growls and rumbles your very soul...

You don't get to come back
After years of silent screams...

It all moves so slowly around me,
As if time is hesitant to move on...

I was once so sure of the path I'd take
Gripping as tightly as I could onto destiny's rope...

Like honest confessions from a compulsive liar
I set fires while dancing in the rain...

These thoughts slowly consume me,
Whenever the silence is overwhelming...

I need a break from this anger I've been feeling
Hate's a bitter pill too hard to swallow all...

We are the darkness behind every light
The ones who win before we even fight...

Is there a reason for all the things we tend to...
Is there a purpose still lingering for me and you...
