Your book was blank and open
Welcome to this World
Write your path upon its pages
A chance to make sense of this
Darkened Ignorance
And as you bloomed into yourself
Life’s colors Mesmerized
And as you walked your golden path
The walls were made of air
But as you opened your mind
Doors began to close
Sun gave way to rain and doubt then grew
The colored ink you wrote in
Turned a morbid shade
And your memories will fade
Dark words all I read
Spawn that poison seed
and pages Torn in rage
Lay burning on the stage
But I’ll Lift you from the floor
Find that open door
Where you will find your way
And chase the break of day
These Dark words
These Dark Words - Dark Words - Those Dark Words
And now this chapter ends
Dare I turn the Page?
Dark words all I read
Spawn that poison seed
and pages Torn in rage
Lay burning on the stage
But I’ll Lift you from the floor
Find that open door
Where you will find your way
And chase the break of day
These Dark words will fall
Will you find yourself within that book
Welcome to this World that lied to you.
And chase the break of day
