Unknown Realm

Through the cycles of time, I find myself lost in an everlasting oblivion
Dormant lies the courage to break free
Although out of sight I can see no other way out of the masquerade we call life
As I struggle to grasp reality in its truest form
I watch upon society and it's masked courage to stand for a better existence
Whilst we squabble over who has what, I can't help but realise none of it really matters
The heart and mind speak two different languages
One literates it desires to be, while the other counters its passion
Smothering it like a burning flame
Blaming each other for our downfalls we pull one another to the ground
Not allowing the evolution of our wings to form
A mass of hysteria clouds over every one of us
Fogging our vision and denying us the light we truly seek
Whilst also creating demonic silhouettes in our vision of others
Patterns emerge and we defend ourselves with words and actions
What we see in each other is a reflection of the harm we impose on ourselves
Crisp and clear becomes the vision of evil
Submerging our desire to be free
And encasing us in an already built coffin that lays beneath our engraved stone
Which describes us as a past existence
As we resist death through the passages of time
We only find ourselves to become more fearful of it
Eventually it catches us all, sweeping us away into an unknown realm
We will never truly grasp the understanding of

Life is tough and life is hard
I've tried enough to play these cards
Dealt with jokers masquerading as king of hearts
So I ain't playing
Laying hand on one another
Shuffling towards another bother
Digging with spades so very deep
For diamonds we can't truly keep
The hands we're dealt
Are demands that melt
When we let ourselves be as one
Division is only a form of sum
And some hearts can beat like a drum
Numbers printed on our cards
We're hardly seen as human
But I find the hardest part
Is the darkness over us that's always looming
