Verism

Hope is everything I have
Its presence’s been lost way to long
Hiding in adrenaline
Pleasure is lost in its grip

Everything is real
Its mark is too real to see
My mind is my shield
Slowly losing its vigor

I met my fear inside this flame
My ignorance taking aim
Shooting right through me
It wants to consume me

Hate is crawling in my thoughts
Fade into a gloomy solitude
Locked out of reality
My mind is trapped in a guillotine

Everything is real
Its mark is too real to see
My mind is my shield
Slowly losing its vigor

I met my fear inside this flame
My ignorance taking aim
Shooting right through me
It wants to consume me
Behind this old mask I plead
In truth, I found hate and greed

When everything’s too real
When its mark is too real to see
My mind is my shield
Slowly losing its vigor
And when there's not much too feel
My heart keep pushing the trigger

I met my fear inside this flame
My ignorance taking aim
Shooting right through me
It wants to consume me
Behind this old mask I plead
In truth, I found hate and greed
