Downfall

Scoping for some answers

Smoking up that cancer

In a dream

No one can see

Into my eyes

They see the fire

Hoping for that daytime break

Holding up for someone’s sake

Living a lie

Becoming a spy

No where to turn

My lungs just burn

Everyday passes casually

Every man says no one can see

The pain that scars

Us living at large

The light turns red

The point up ahead

The road gets dimmer with traveling farther

The pain gets deeper with an innocent daughter

Her life at stake

The beating we take

For her to be free

Letting everyone see

The unknown things to the human eye

The things we do to touch the sky

Risking it all

Trying to not fall

All the hectic days

In my mind it plays

Over and over until I am drained

Thinking in time it’ll be my fame
