Behind the veil of where I live
So many fears to follow
Heart is leaking like a sieve
My veins are draining hollow
Clinging to your safety net
Afraid of what's below
Rocks and rapids straight ahead
So weak I may let go....
And let the undercurrents own me
As if they haven't always
Why fight the fatal truth that only
Time has tucked away
Cover of lightness leads me on
In blissful parody
Counterfeiting a lover's song
In frames of travesty
Sycophantic shivs of light
Deceive me and my dreams
Phylactic friends with selfish ends
Unravel all my seams
Hiding fright in strays of light
And love's sweet melody
I hear the chorus droning rites
Of death compulsory
But in the path of my descent
There's just one way to go
Weak or bent I won't relent
Let your cover of lightness glow
