Beneath the surface of ourselves We mourn Our souls wear the black As it rains, the black color bleeds Tarnishing what is us, our only remainder Our last stand in a crowd of uncertainties The inside can only stand so much corruption, less hardened than our outer calloused and bruised covering Soon it's too much A private funeral Open casket with unblinking eyes Still looking for the white to balance out the blackness inside

Beneath the surface of ourselves We mourn Our souls wear the black As it rains, the black color bleeds Tarnishing what is us, our only remainder Our last stand in a crowd of uncertainties The inside can only stand so much corruption, less hardened than our outer calloused and bruised covering Soon it's too much A private funeral Open casket with unblinking eyes Still looking for the white to balance out the blackness inside
