Draped in black
She owns what you lack
Don’t be fooled by
What’s behind the lies
The fear holds back
The beautiful soul within
Only visible with a smile
I know the good in there
But with so little patience
That I now have left to spare
It’s too painful for me to care

Imprisoned by metal bars
Surrounded by concrete walls
From the positions of the stars
You’ve been here far too long
Can’t any longer ignore
The sweet sound of Nature’s calls
Your feet are greatly sore
Because you tried stomping the wrong
Ones to blame for your malaise

The dreams which we chase
Seem to lead in very separate ways
Don’t be fooled by
The mask over that handsome face
Blocking the lights within
Only visible thru toil and trial
A past so ugly and vile
Armed with so little confidence
Without any motivation to inspire
Never sure if love is really what you desire
