Dissimulo

Huddled in darkness
Much too soon to breathe
Didn’t know your likeness
Didn’t know to need

Ejected into places
You did not understand
Simply being
With life in the distance

Slaughtered by your own hand
Aided by men
Lacking enough will
They had too much need

Hiding in a new darkness
Not letting others see
Violence in your mind
Then you met me

Not just another rock star
Secret’s no one saw
Wanting to escape
Seems you were the key

Words poured between us
Pages like a sieve
Though you won’t believe it
You gave me back my greed

Here we are together
A secret you would keep
Tired lies grow stronger
Soon no treasure

Will you weep
