I'm paused, I'm puzzled
it keeps swirling in my head
can you feel the suffering?
and the angel not answering

behind the smile of the moon
among the light of the stars
shed all the gloom
pleaded for acceptance

but the slight smile
will stay forever
although thousands knives
chop the depth of the heart

world forces us
to blow up our hearts
put on spiked masks
against all the truths

all have been sliced off
falsehood will covering
sincerity no longer meant
that's how life's now understood
