Smile Through The Pain



Just not having you in my arms is driving me insane
 The twilight sun has tainted my inner vision
 was there something inside you have been wishing
 We hide behind the false hidden garb of compromise

 Can't we see through those twisted lies
 Shadows break upon the morning
 Mental illness effects us all
 Blackened caverns of experience inside

 The long duration of the silence within
 we hold are breath then count to the number ten
 Were at the edge of are seats
 have we gone so very deep

 Through a variation of a dream evil scheme
 A lone novice would disagree
 What is my one solemn humble plea
 smile through the pain

 When the outside world acts totally insane
 lest I refrain...
 Sullen brevity
 faces, traces, shadows & cobwebs

 Like faces in the window with storms in the night
 many heads prefer to live by sight
 We can't escape the way we feel
 perhaps a love embrace will seal the deal

 Vortex
 Long lines are being drawn in the street
 grand illusion
 we fought back the tears to numb the inner pain
