Analysis of Strip Away The Layers
Strip away the layers,
Wonder what you'll find,
Nothing but bits and pieces,
Of a soul that used to be kind,
Cruelty and anger,
Are the only friends,
Destroying and destroying,
Til kindness is at an end,
The light has been extinguished,
The soul has been lost,
Cruelty and anger won,
But how high was the cost?
