Paradise of Strangers

Villains and the innocent tonight

Walk the streets beneath the lights

A valley of sickly blank faces

But everything’s all right

No one seems to care

If you’re there or unaware

No one even stops to stare

In this sea of empty eyes

All buried in their disguise

Not knowing, what comes next

Wearing a face, so vexed

These hearts have no soul

Their grief has once again taken toll

Their vibes float through me

Like a ghost in a haunted movie

It’s a hallucination for some

A relaxant for others

It never ends

Their comments won’t mend

The broken truth that came to me

Hearing that everything was so happy
