Shaded

Shadows play tricks on the mind

Streetlights bring upon an artificial dawn

Wild eyes flash, lightning in the dark

Honor-bound by death, move forward

Shadows, lost souls of man

Cyphers of truth spiraling in pattern

Rungs connect the stories

A code in deliverance of humanity

Inside man, inside all

Look within, see degradation as acceptance

Slender serenades from raindrops on rooftops

Fearfully free, my cognisance entranced

A sacrifice is made

Each step leaves a sour note

Aroma wafting into a sensory overload

Conveyal of sound and sight

Each sense a jester to mock

Breathe, as this world breathes

Slender serenades from raindrops on rooftops

Fearfully free, my cognisance entranced

A sacrifice is made

Tyrannical moonlight give life to shadows

Formerly whispers from the trees

Beams of luminescent energy

Flowing through a overgrown forest

Lost in the woods, alone and afraid

The light envelops the dark

The dark consumes the light

Truth concedes to lies

Lies forfeit to truth

Lost in the woods, alone and afraid

Slender serenades from raindrops on rooftops

Fearfully free, my cognisance entranced

A sacrifice is made

Sparring with the memory evanescent thought

Blindly drawn towards nothingness

Walking along the beaten path

Longing for something long forgotten

Past mistakes, just fleeting tragedies

Slender serenades from raindrops on rooftops

Fearfully free, my cognisance entranced

A sacrifice is made
