The Raven In Disguise

Sin is a curse if it was a being
Do you think it would be like me
If guilt had eyes
Would they hide as much as mine
If pain had a heart
Do you think it would be as black as mine is
Don't ask me if I'm alright
Don't tell me everythings okay
A lie is a hidden messenger
Like a raven painted white
Would it peck out my eyes
If I took it from my hat
Love is sweet
If it knew me do you think
It would see deafeat
If black was a colour
Would it be a failure like me
In this spectrum called Life
I've got a question
Whats wrong with me?
It's like I'm skinny as a pole
And yet I still can't see my feet
My vision is perfect
And Hey I know I've got two
But there's something there I cannot see
Maybe my pride is so big
It permeates everything good in me
There could possibly be
Don't ask me if I'm okay
Don't tell me everythings alright
I've got two left feet
A pocketful of promises
And yet I reak of self defeat
Don't be a hidden messenger
Just because I'm now blind
Doesn't mean I can't see
The rain is causing your paint to run
I see the raven underneath
Hey if I could ever see the rain
Would it then show me it's true colours
And there I go again...
