Always creeping

Never sleeping

Always sliding

There's no hiding

Soaks up hope

And steals love

Wings of silence

Fly above

Darkness creeping

Mountain weeping

Singing fading

Madness stealing

Puddles forming

Tears are spilled

Sorrow's swirling

Dreams are killed

Cause hope is like a butterfly

Fleeting, fragile, doomed to die

Balanced on the brink of terror

Colors show not the true wearer

Hidden secrets

Stolen lies

Shadows leading

To demise
