But You Don't Know

Hope that a rises
From the shame
Of another day slain

Pokes me with
A knife too deep
To kill the monster's peep

Keeps me on my toes
Forgetting long times
Still trapped inside

Putting on a mask
Fades the gasp I breathe
As I suffocate beneath

The scars run so very deep
Nicks and bruises
Never contemplating what I chooses

The sky sours
With muddy anticipations
Of another day's precipitation

The red runs down long shadows
Covering grey it paints
Until there is no light for it to taint

A shattered reminx
Of my soul locked and chained
Another day slain

Your right by my side
You wave a friendly goodbye
To someone who isn't even me

But you don't know that
You think I always told you the truth

You still think that's me
