Smiles on faces that will never know,
the heartache that will come for them ever so slow.

Forever knowing the sadness, forever feeling the hate,
waiting for the moment that they
can truly relate.

To much to handle to much to take,
slipping, crawling, before I wake.

Disbelief on your eyes when you finally see,
the fiery demon that was sent after me.

Trapped by the sadness I've kept from within,
shot through my eyes with fine precision.

Hung from a moment of this cloudy mind,
looked but not finding, I was perfectly fine.

Masked in a face that could show no pain,
empty inside of this lonely brain.

Rage shown through by knowledge of fate,
a man grown up with fear and taint.

Quick to unleash his contained shrewd pain,
with me I knew that I could never explain.

Nobody knew when it came after me,
facing an opponent that I could not see.

Drowning in a sea of my own deceit,
brought by the thought of my own defeat.

Hope or death to simple a thing,
never knew if there was, a worth to my being.
