The future uncertain, the past unknown
We were once together, but now we are gone
Fear and mistrust now fill our souls
The light of love extinguished, the darkness takes hold
No hope or happiness, only dread and woe
I don't see us, I see a foe
I am undaunted,
Friendships forged in trust,
Fueled by a shared understanding,
My soul in perfect accord with theirs,
A connection that's so sublime,
Ah, deep chemistry!
The shadows creep in ever more,
A brutal plan they must explore,
To find the peace they seek so sore,
They must be willing to ignore,
The silence that will come before,
The bloodshed needed evermore.
We strive to make ourselves secure
The world can be a lonely place
We search for our confidence
Using snap, flirt, and more
We hope to find our cure
In this world so full of grace
Us at Twilight
Crimson skies, a fading light
Laughter fills the air so bright
No luck can take the place of love
That sparkles like the stars above
Our mouths ignite, our hearts aflame
Together, we will never be the same
My vision is diverted, no answers in sight,
Search for what's hidden behind my shades of green,
What secrets remain, of pain and of fright?
To know what I've hidden, the truth must be seen.
You think I'm a glacier, where nothing can grow,
But under this canvas, a story lies told.
From the ashes of despair
We rise with courage to restore
Our suffering and our grief
We bear the weight to no more
Our minds burn bright with purpose
Finding strength in unity
Our fears may overwhelm us,
Fight them with all we have,
Strive to reach our heart's desire,
Though it may cause us pain.
We must not succumb to despair,
Our white body still remains.
My selfishness overwhelms me,
My pride stands in my way,
A path of justice I can't see,
Though I wish to find my way.
I stand in my solitude,
My triumphs are few.
Twilight brings a sense of dread,
Robots seem cloaked in love instead,
I'm feeling sad, in need of me,
It's cowardice to fear a beast,
But if I take a moment, then,
Reflection will breathe life again.
