Unknown

It's risky business walking out your front door

Never knowing what is out there around the corner

Hovering over you is a spirit of lies

And when the truth be told it tells a sad tail

A story of the struggle of daily life lived in fear

Where every smile was a waste and all weep as they watch the terror

No one know's what's coming

Except that it is bad for all mankind

The unknown always puts you in your place

For there are no false words about unknown things

No one can say they've been there and back again

It remains black and dead like the tree of life

Guarded for eternal life you have to walk away from the light

One more breakdown in the code of the human race

There is no telling what is there in the back of your mind

Creepy gross things that crawl all over your back

Holding you back from stepping out are all the maybe's in life

The unknown now becomes the solution for all your problems

Crafted and molded in the form of a broken man

What can you say you did with your life without meeting the unknowable?

Hooded and covered in the blood of his victims

He will now show you what life would have been like if you never had lived

And as you look down and see

It is your life just as you are living it now

Afraid of your own shadow, afraid of the unknown that you could know
