Sleep brings strange dreams
And other thoughts of incomprehension
Mixture of darkness and light
Colors and sound
Things that should never be
And things that always will
Take these thoughts from my head
Don’t be scared, don’t be aware
Don’t be alarmed frightened child
I don’t want to be king of the world
I don’t want to be prince of anything
No harm behind my smile
I won’t ever do that thing
No, I won’t ever say those words
That cut you like a knife
Such a shame
Denial can be such a part of you
And this is the time to choose
No malice behind my smile
What I give, I give to you
What I want, you could never do
Today is the day I tore my soul out
Burned my eyes upon the sight
Of my own face
Such a shame,
The truth behind my smile

it's full of emotion that makes you wonder what does a person really think since we have no idea, it tend to scare us from time to time ..... well done ...
