I Be Carlo

"Throwing Salt"

You might think we like being alone

Yet we just can't trust anymore

Not with what's in the heart

Not with the use of our time

Once you've seen the pain

In time you'll understand

There's isn't much difference

Between hypocrisy and mediocrity

From ones faith to the occult

Everyday everyone is at fault

A war with evocation

As I sit here by the Shore

On the piers of Styx

I contimplate this fate

Sifting through a sea of regret

Times lost to the wrong mates

Moments wasted on hate

Times our programs didn't relate

I'm sorry for what I'm about to do

I always wished it possible

I'd love someone like you

Maybe if we lived our lives

Walking in each others shoes

I wouldn't be here past the gate

Trying to decide this fate

I hope you don't relate as I sit

"Trust issues"

Never thought I'd see the day

I'd have to try explain away

How much life has hurt

How people put on a smile

Say they're okay when really

To them it's just another day

They try hide the hurt away

The pain of betrayal

The feeling of hindrance

The solitude in silence

Darkness shadows

Cloaked in sadness

Can't seem to find

Mind decaying

Heart severed

Living in a state

Constant regret

Happiness evades

Darkness shadows

"Faces"

Many many faces

Which hold true

Many many faces

We see right through

A mask for each task

They can hide it so fast

Is it a smile or a frown

What do they hide behind

When they can't be found

A face held deep inside

A mask they hide behind

I don't want to be

Buried alive

By this before

I get to live

I don't want to be

A memory lost

In the ether of

Your mind

I just want to be

Loved for me

Not the person

I used to be

I just want to be

In your presence

Not a thought of

Who we used to be

I just wish to see

That sparkle shine

Within the depths

Inside your eyes

I just wish to see

A time and a place

Where we used to be

Before it all
