Darkness Falls

behind the walls
behind the lies
when darkness falls
you can’t disguise

the moonlight shows
what’s real inside
what no one knows
and you can’t hide

it lets you see
what’s really there
what is to be
it shreds us bare

who wears the mask
it tells us true
it doesn’t ask
it shoots straight through

it knows the heart
that we can’t breach
it breaks apart
what light can’t reach

it shows the fear
that’s on our face
it’s always there
that dark, dark place
