They deliberately cut themselves
Along with my blood
The streets are red
There are puddles of sin everywhere
It drips and pours
And oh, the pain

Love for mankind
Apparent blind lies
Faceless truth high above
Looks down in rage
Real and raw from the truth
Trust shameful selfish
Real and raw from the truth
Trusting my own brain

I don't need to say it twice
Can always turn back, not condemned
Remember who he is
Chip away the lies
Pour out love
Do whats right and be numb to death

Love for mankind
Apparent blind lies
Faceless truth high above
Looks down in rage
Real and raw from the truth
Trust shameful selfishness
Real and raw from the truth
Trusting my own brain

He knows
Its no secret
You're alive and you're no ghost
Your skin is real, you exist
When you're gone you never come back
This is your choice what will you do

Love for mankind
Apparent blind lies
Faceless truth high above
Looks down in rage
Real and raw from the truth
Trust shameful selfishness
Real and raw from the truth
Trusting my own brain

They deliberately cut themselves
Along with my blood
The streets are red
There are puddles of sin everywhere
It drips and pours
And oh, the pain

I like the overall poem, but I did not like the repeating stanzas.

I speak insanity. I write fantasy. I sleep reality.

Thank you, but the repeating stanzas except the last one are actually the chorus.
