Verities

Truth... doesn't count for much.
Being lied to your face, but you
never second-guessed.
Knowledge isn't hard to get,
just open your eyes and
stare it down, don't ever look away.

Ignorance is easier,
but don't just lay down yet.
You'll have plenty of time
to rest your mind
once we're in a safer place
I'll risk anything for you
all i need is a little help.

I know how to make it right.
I have the only key in my hand,
but I cannot find the door.
I've been searching for a reason why
there's so many other creatures here,
but they see nothing wrong at all.

Ignorance isn't for us.
We deserve more than that.
We'll need no use of force,
once there's compassion,
and life's worth more than gold.
Everybody needs to know
The truth behind the lies.

Property can be replaced.
For some reason however
life always comes second best.
Everything means nothing now.
Keep that in mind and don't forget,
someday to pass it on.

Dementia

I have found comfort in dementia.
It quells the suffering of my mind.
With ignorance owning everyone,
i'm surprised i'm not entwined.

It's a constant battle in my head,
this virus comes to claim.
As simple as elusion seems,
This disease I cannot tame.

Instead I can only shroud myself.
Seclusion from hated morbidness.
I wish this evil would lift its grasp,
i'm feeling my own remissness.

I need some time to be alone
to fight this demon on my own.
From here on out comes a test,
and I must venture the unknown.
