The darkness hides the light
Encompassing the good things
Encouraging the urge for flight
The demons were all masked
A cushion for the pins
Of questions never asked
Happy is the facade it doesn’t last
Shine a light upon your soul
What shadow does it cast
A hint of happy remains
The sadness of reality
Courses through our veins
Struggle through the days
When stuck inside ones head

Joy
Joy has left the building
She packed up and moved away
I can’t help wanting to follow suit
It’s too unbearable to stay
It’s not a single thing
A compilation of acts
The fight has gone on too long
Let’s just present the facts
The details will just bore you
Don’t feign that you care
Demise is what’s inevitable
The fight was never fair
A burden placed upon her
The weight gave the strength
But beyond the smoke and mirrors
The fight can’t match the length
Know you’re not a saviour
A keeper of the smile
It’s just that iron curtain
Gets heavy after a while
A life spent pretending
Distracting with intent
Look at the shiny objects
Until you feel content
A life seems like it’s wasted
From the outside looking in
The engines now on empty
The lifeblood running thin
Take all the thoughts that matter
And put them on a shelf
A collection of the happy times
It’s the sum of the wealth
Joy left the building
The bitch just moved away
Not sure you can keep her
Not sure she can stay.

Untold its still a Story
Not all words can be spoken,
no matter the content.
Untold it's still a story,
a series of events.
Actions can speak volumes,
there is no trust required.
Words can seem like lip service,
coating the rhetoric in which we're mired.
The beginning is too painful,
the middle is just wrong.
The end’s the thing in question,
is the story short or long.
A life is saved with kindness,
knowing someone is there.
An idea you can cling too,
when you forget somebody cares.
Sometimes it doesn't matter,
the pain is far too strong.
To overcome the darkness,
they've been fighting far too long.
Don't take it so personally,
It isn't about you.
The pain just overcame them,
they didn't know what else to do.
A story can end swiftly,
lacking reason or rhyme.
For unless you are in the fight,
you can not gauge the time.
