Hidden From All

Complacency continues the cycle

Keep it secret

Keep it hidden

Hidden from the world

Hidden from all

All who look

All who search

Search for a reason

Search for a victim

Victim to the cycle

Victim doomed to repeat

Repeat it all

Repeat it again

Again hide away

Again run from fear

Fear of life

Fear of being found

Found existing

Found living

Living in darkness

Living in safety

Safety in silence

Safety in complying

Complying as you should

Complying to all demands

Demands of removal

Demands to hide

Hide away once more

Hide where you aren’t seen

Seen in the corner

Seen under the light

Light you’re not welcome

Light you cannot experience

Experience nothing

Experience life

Life you can lead

Life you’ve given up

Up you wake

Up from a dream

Dream of freedom

Dream safe from nightmares

Nightmares you live

Nightmares you dread

Dread being found

Dread hiding again

Again again again

Again the cycle spins

Spins a tale of love

Spins a web of lies

Love you can have

Lies you believe
