Description Outside everything you see
Is the smile that I display
Behind closed doors, within me
A little piece cracks off every day

It rolls off to a dark place
Darker than I knew I had
It makes its own special space
Sits there, just to make me sad

        And secretly
        Oh, I have been
        Falling apart
        Shredding my heart

Then this dark space, it expands
Day by day, grows blacker still
All the feelings I have banned
There are ways but is there will?

The darkness surrounding me
Will never be blacker than
Those who say they cannot see
The black that envelops man

        And secretly
        You know I've been
        Falling apart
        Making it art

And your voice  
     silently screams in black
          joining a legion in sorrow

Without a choice
     you dare look back
          to a time you wish to borrow

You transcribe the secrets
     hidden deep within
          as they escape your heart

You release regrets
     and forget your sin
          as you weave your truth with art

As said, not all of the words are mine, some of the glory goes to Ashen-Tomorrow He said most of these things, I just put the words into rhymes and maybe inserted some of my own thoughts in appropriate places.

But I'm glad you enjoyed it all the same. I too have navigated the dark halls of depression for too long, but still I feel lost within them from time to time...

A lyricist that speaks poetry into song, art into music, and always with such purity.  I am honored, truly, to share my small part of the stage with your beautiful work.

You're being too modest, the words are mostly yours, I just make them rhyme

No matter who grows the trees, it's the one who crafts them that makes a new form of artwork.
