A crack forms in the foundation Fault line through your defenses Illuminating the essence Once clouded by a myth Store bought conformity Force-fed duality, I warp reality The comfort that you will find, As you remain hidden. The light betrays, Casting your true self away, They remain blinded. As Vanity possesses me I am further away Gripped by a belief in empty words Driven by a need to prove The shell may wither But the fire burns eternal You hide behind Cower The light that blinds Will never find What burns inside You remain blind Behind the light
