Lost in the Dark


They say the wicked is dark

& the holy is light

I'm still lost in the dark trying to get to the light

They say my future is bright 

Yes, I do believe them. 

Thing is,

what's a future without the right women for your children to be conceived in 

Sometimes things aren't what they seem,

call it vision impaired

but really you're scared

to find the truth that lies behind her eyes as you play with her hair

Everyone wants to be loved

but not to be hurt

Believe it or not

the purest thing in this world is dirt

Which we call the people we hate

maybe it was just a mistake

Or maybe it was fate,

that brought us apart

Still trying to find this truth some may call light in the dark
