Reality


What if these tears… Added up over the years… Could drown out the screams of the silence that now deafens us… What is they Could wash away the scars of all the battles we once before lost… While We waged war on ourselves that only led to more sin… We begged for help but no one seemed to give in… Though our screams for help were so silent you could hear a pin drop… Our hearts armor was now as hard as a rock… Our minds have long left the dock of sanity… Only to return on a moments notice throwing us back into reality… A place we've known our whole lives… Though we've never known the truth of what's inside…
