Scared of my Shadow
Yesterday your shadow whispered in my ear,
do you want to know what it said?
Your shadow despises you,
and your conscence hates you.
Your strength is weaken by your honesty.
Your ambition is black with envy.
You are twisted by your vanity.
You circle your anger and confuse your bitterness.
You say hi to your hatred and bye to your conviction.
You can hear the north but you search for the South.
Core is your vanity, black is your deep.
Punish with your breath.
Shaken from the top, shove to be last.
Mules with the load that Carries your soul
Pieces of yourself ravage with the blackness of your pain
Stillness capture like the light of night.
This dry flake, waters your commitment
soiled with the cloth of your distance.
The well, the well crumbles with the
wake of your silence.
The steam from your voice is not your own.
Somebody told me the sky was blue, is it true.
