Handle with Care

Dante

Whatever happened to chasing the light?
Something worth keeping -
our lips sealed up tight.

Innocence preserved,
Is innocence gained.
We destroy what we want to,
Losing all that we've made.

Where was the light,
Glowing late last night?
The one worth keeping -
Our lips sealed up tight.

You told me to follow,
Yet your words sounded hallow.
A secret worth keeping -
lay in the hope of tomorrow.

The sun it came,
And scared you away.
The devil, he whispered,
things I dare not say.

Whatever happened to chasing the light?
Something worth keeping -
Mixing up wrong with right.

You told me to stay.
You told me to lay,
The truth on the table
so that you could find a way.

To save those to ignorant to save themselves.
The dystopia built, worse than the nine levels of hell.
