From Broken Vessels

Unto this world I was born – innocence scorned
 Oaths were broken and pain bestowed – innocence mourned
 Trust betrayed, smiles were faked
 Desire turned hate, faces of loved ones are long decayed
 Alone in this world, alone and so cold
 Shiver in rain, my story unfolds
 A broken vessel, endless pieces of me
 Friends are now foes, those who betray
 Love's labour's lost, a true passion play
 Forked tongues drip with lies
 Serpents hold me down, I cannot fly
 The dark within my eyes
 Saint I'm not
 Pure in mind and thought
 Masks I wear
 In this stage we share
 Will we ever bare
 These fears and hopes within one and all?
 Cracks they show
 In the mirrors of my soul
 When I break
 Why do they all forsake?
 Is life but a mistake?
 Why do they smile when I fall apart?
 Go! Pick your self up,
 You are the end, now the chapter is done
 Cry as you might to the gods you adore
 They hear you not, as they never before
