Mirage of Tranquility

Silence in screams,
Nothing is what is seems,
Waiting in calm anxiety,
Trying to understand society.
Dreams of nightmares resurface,
Ambitions arise of tender malice,
Stuck in this beautiful pain forever,
Body and soul being severed.

Everything comes tumbling down.
Everything collapses in an instance.
Your soul, your spirit is nowhere to be found.
Your body becomes lost in the distance.

Let it be…

Healthy in disease,
Nothing comes with ease,
Watching the angels scheme,
The earth inherited with pitiful esteem.
Conjuring up mendacious illusions,
Relying on these lovely delusions.
Elegies sung with heavenly praise,
Bodies fall and spirits raise.

Everything comes tumbling down.
Everything collapses in an instance.
Your mind, your thoughts deafened by the sound.
Your body sheltered in full resistance.

Let it be…

Surrounded by incoherent babbling.
Surrounded by trivial squabbling.
War rages on and where will you be?
Hate tears through and where will you be?
Earth painted in crimson and what will you do?
Souls cry and scream for help and what do you do?

You let it be.
You let it be.
You just let it be.
You let…it…be…
