but no matter where it comes from
it never fails to be present
piercing me through the flesh
my soul bleeding through my eyes
all that i have lived for
all that i have trusted in
all that i once believed
all that i have ever known
everything turned out to be lies
lies that were once so true
the ones i built my life around
the ones that made me who i am today
the hurt
the forsaken soul
the disillusioned
the river of tears
