The sun causes shadow,
Just as joy causes sadness.
You go blind in the light,
Until you're completely enveloped in the darkness of depression.
It's a predator stalking you,
While wear that care free smile on that ignorant face.
Completely unaware of it.
It strikes you when you are most vulnerable.
Painting a pretty picture with the silent flash of the muzzle.
Trapping it's next victim just like that.
Night is longer than day,
And the world will end in the darkest of nights.

I sway like the midday breeze.
From the empty of the clear sky.
To the sharp coldness of the winter ice.

You ever look into the eyes,
The eyes of the dead.
They stare at me with shame,
As I look away from the mirror.
I look away from myself,
Because If you look into the eyes of the dead for too long you join them.
My eyes are the eyes of the dead.
I looked far too long.

****** and burned,
I walk on.
These lifeless eyes,
I continue to stare.
And these cold hands continue to scribble.
These lifeless letters don't stop the shaking,
The shaking induced by the fear of myself.
Life passes by,
And I let it.
Before it does I look away,
To hide those pain-streaked cheeks.
