It is black
Hear the voices
But cannot see
Feel the edges of reality
Held by a string of desire
That straps you in
Pick up the scissors
Cut your desire
Let it fall to the ground
Don't pick up your fantasy
See the light of reality
Hear the voices
See the people
This is reality
Leave behind the mask
Be who you are
Don't pretend to be
Someone your not
The light shines brillantly
Don't live fake, this is reality.
