You are not what you see or feel Demons have robbed you of your eyes And placed a nightmarish carnival mirror before you Monsters have stolen your heart And buried it in mountains high and cold Replaced it with a comfortable pain of numb Your light shrouded by the devils clouds of doubt and misery It is not you you see or feel It is the lie and reflection These scoundrels have placed in front of you It is only a shadow and shell that these beasts have made To trick and deceive To torment and steal Your heart Your soul Your beauty Your truth For I have heard your truth sing I have been inspired by your beauty I have danced with your soul And I have been touched by your heart The have thier lies screaming over your skin To steal your confidence They clutter your head with thoughts of failure To bring down your self esteem They take the color and magic from your eyes And leave only the grey and dark ugly nighmares You're not what they try to make you do You're not what they try to break you to When you think its you hating yourself It is them and the living lie they have made from your fears The mirror in front of you Is full of demons smoke and beastly illusion It does not reflct you These monsters and devils work For the black demon dogs of depression They strip you of your truth To feed them late night snacks They drain your heart of love To wet their burning tounges They break your souls bones To give them something to toy with and gnaw on And then they leave you alive just enough to stand back up So they can come back for more It is a never ending cycle of lies and deceit They hide you from yourself and only let you see The marionette they have made to mock you with I have seen your doubts and pains and aches I have heard your tears sing in fear and desperation And I have felt the nightmare blanket wrapped tightly around you... It is not a thing many could survive It is a place where most cannot escape It is the pit no one dares look into Without instantly begging for death It is the void that devours the weak whole in but a single breath It is a place where light dies without the trace of a shadow Where dreamers bury their hopes and lose their will to wish... It is here they have tried to hide your true self It is from this pit I first saw your light streaking out from That I first heard the call of your voice I was helpless to do anything but jump blindly into the pit Into the unknown dark And I have fallen to the end of its bottomless depths And found you here And here where all light dies You still outshine the sun Here in the cold dark You blaze infinite warmth You fight countless battles Demon and black dogs Beasts and monsters Devils and scoundrels Fight against you endlessly You have your scars You have lost your battles And yet you stay strong Your lungs ache to the brink of death But you still inhale deeply You have pushed through this war For many a day and nights Alone many times without aid I have fallen here Given myself to you completely Dedicated my purpose and drive To your aid You do not belong here Your light too beautiful for this place Too beautful for this world I am here now with you You never need fight or fear alone I will always be by your side We will walk out together Fly beyond this place Reunite you to yourself You will then see Your heart Your soul Your beauty Your truth As I do And then you will see You make all things beautiful
