Words That Lie Inside
I fight,
I strive,
For a more perfect life.
My eyes are stiff,
My words are cold.
But this way I live,
Is what I'm told;
It's the right path,
Destroying homes,
Killing souls.
I extinguish the light,
Empower the weak.
How can this be right?
How is this what I seek?
My father darkens my eyes.
My sister tells these vile lies.
Yet my uncle,
He's the light I see.
He's the one who encourages me.
His hand upon my shoulder,
His words I forever hear.
As I grow older,
I know he'll always be here,
By my side,
On for the ride.
His eyes, they glisten.
His heart is pure of gold.
So deep down I listen;
For his love,
I'll eternally hold.
How is he always here?
Always whispering these words,
That I know are sincerely dear.
He guides my way.
He loves me day by day.
My uncle understands;
He let's my temper slip by,
No matter where I stand;
His home is where my heart lies.
These years I've seen,
His true thoughts,
His real heart.
Now it's these days.
I've lost my path.
I wander in dismay.
We're outcasts,
In a world not made for us.
Now our past,
Is one thing we can no longer trust.
Our family is gone,
In the eyes of our hearts.
He and I,
The only family we have left in this world.
War is tearing us all apart.
Four nations,
Broken down to three.
The worldly balance has taken a vacation.
Will our souls ever be set free?
Right now my mind is shuffled,
My eyes are dazed,
But somewhere in here I know.
These miserable days,
Will make me grow.
