The sky is a graveyard of stars
Each one a scar from forgotten wars
I stare through the cracks in my broken disguise
Afraid of the dark, but more of the lies

An exhumation of my former self
Dug up truths left to rot on the shelf
Buried my heart in a casket of doubt
Now it screams from within, trying to claw its way out

Let the demons soar. Let them rise!
I’ve fed them too long to cut all ties
They circle above like vultures of flame
And whisper my sins while chanting my name

Can’t close my eyes, for it is where,
The devil hides in every stare
He waits in dreams with bloodstained hands
Building kingdoms on sinking sands

The people with the biggest smiles,
Walk the longest, loneliest miles
And I, I wear mine like a mask each day
Hiding the hurt in a world gone gray
