And again I face my fantasies Illicit voices sing Absent mother fails to see
And again I taste the tears that keep me sound As words used in defiance inflame… Instilling the fear
Their eyes blinded to the reasons As their thoughts distil their deepest fears Their lives reflect their darkest seasons Behind the walls of unforgiven years
In her hands she hides her desperate tears Elusive voices sigh My resentment builds within
In her tears I hide my insecurities My words spoken in rage inflict… Revealing my deepest fears and shame
Their eyes blinded to the reasons As their thoughts distil their deepest fears Their lives reflect their darkest seasons Behind the walls of unforgiven years
Through my fears I face my frailty As lucid voices speak Her resentment fades away
Through the bitter years I kept my dignity My words, once laced with rage, absolve… Rebuilding the years
Their eyes opened to the reasons As their thoughts dispel their deepest fears Their lives reject their darkest seasons Beyond the walls of unforgiven years
