Murky

In the haze of twilight's grasp A shadowed scene unveiled A world adrift in cloak and guise Where truth remains curtailed The market dance of whispered cults Beneath the dim lit street Where secrets shroud the alleys deep Where souls in darkness meet Through foggy glass he gazes out A spectre lost in time The streets alive with hidden eyes Each step a silent cry The city's horn a pounding drum Where secrets shed untold The murky tapestry of lies Your soul's relentless hold Murky echoes fill the night Whispers in the rain A shattered soul a broken heart Sick and lying in vain oh Beneath the surface the murky depths Where dark waters flow He waits brave through deathly currents His scars he won't bestow The murky silt of hidden truths A swirl of masquerade A ceaseless battle for his soul Beneath the charade Murky echoes fill the night Whispers in the rain A shattered soul a broken heart Sick and lying in vain In flickering lampslight embrace He trails a path unknown An undercover ghost that he plays His truths have left his soul The secret stays upon his heart Like ink upon his skin He loves to break the murky chains And let his true self in oh Taken reflections on the broken glass A weary face appears A weight on his shoulders and the past he has left His burden soaked in tears The murky haze that follows him Through nights that never end Through nights that never end A prisoner of his own facade A world he can't transcend Murky echoes fill the night Whispers in the rain A shattered soul a broken heart Sick and lying in vain yeah Murky echoes fill the night Secrets lie concealed A shattered soul a broken heart His wounds will never heal
