Newborn soul, You know nothing of this hell - Awake to a smile, But beware the smell of sulfur.
Newborn soul, You know nothing of this world - Where cries are heard, And the skies shine blue.
Walk here as two; All rays of light cast a shadow, We are two faces on a single coin. At bay we try to hold the dark, But what is day without the night?
Black and white, a mere illusion - There's more to us than good and evil. In shades of gray the world is painted, Now look within; your shadows play - Your shadows vie for dominance, For control of the throne. Your shadows are your essence, To the bone, they're you. They coexist, they battle, And in mischief do they dabble, But that shadowed silhouette Is just the other you.
Been working on this one for awhile and keep getting stuck on certain lines. This feels very "first drafty" to me, and I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions you may have! :)
