A rollercoaster ride,
A trip of pride,
Tipping acid,
Tripping lies,
Lost in an act,
A perfect trap,
Never found,
In a criminals pact,
You'll lose your life,
You'll lose your soul,
When your masked assessment,
Takes its toll,
Breathing stops,
And eyes connect,
That moment of loss,
When lives first met,
Broken pieces,
Of puzzles burnt,
We cut our pieces,
To fix the hurt,
Forcing places,
That do not fit,
So we breath in deep,
And take a hit,
Take a pull,
The smoke will help,
Forget the world,
A souls new health,
Take on a lesson,
To past the test,
Doomed to fail,
Even at your best,
Holding a hand,
Connects the soul,
Hearts bring back,
Emotions of old,
Coursed to meet,
By fates true hand,
Crossing oceans,
Irrelevant lands,
Star crossed found,
By stars new light,
To lie together,
And watch the night,
The curtains close,
The acting ends,
Less than love,
More than friends,
Backstage we are real,
As the props strip away,
There's no more lines to learn,
No more acts to play,
Make up gone,
Masks put down,
You see my smiles,
You see my frowns,
We know our lines,
As we've played our roles,
But enough with the lies,
Its taken its toll,
Found someone real,
Nothing left to hide,
Seen every pieces of the soul,
Each broken piece inside,
The pieces fit,
A first place of safety,
Relaxed in truth,
Nothing left that's cagey,
Changed few of life,
A heart at large,
To make two hearts meet,
And cause this electric charge…
