Wrapped in lies
By nightshade
Rain pours down from darkened skies
There you stand wrapped in lies
They say beauty lies within you
Something I show to such a rare few
Burrowed in hatred, soaked in sin
Is there a light that shine from the darkness within?
Shattered hopes, broken dreams
Nothing I portray to you quite what it seems
A shadow with a thousand faces
Displaying a different one from place to place
Chained and tethered by anger and hate
Is this what I am? Is this destined by fate?
Where is the one who unlocks my soul?
Buried deep inside of me lonely and cold
Will the light of another ever come near?
Light the candle inside me, take away my fears
I need strength to carry on forward
What is this that I am heading toward
Hate has planted its seed within me
Are you the one who destroys it?
Or let's it be?
