With each subtle movement, pain renewed
With each passing thought I drift further away from you
Further from the light
Further from the truth
The truth is all we have
Should be all we need
But life distorts the definitiveness of black and white
We avoid condemnation
Avoid the truth for another day
As our lives slip further down
Blurred into shades of grey
I beat my body, wail into the growing wind
Put no faith in what you see
I look to the heavens and say
Take this thorn from me
