Pools of Reflection

[Verse 1]
Dark clouds cross the sky
Like bruises to remind us
And for every drop of rain they hold
Another pain will find us

[Verse 2]
Pools of reflection
Laid upon stone
Every moment, a ripple
The stone crumbles
Beneath the weight of pain
The pools are revealed
To be mirrors of shame

[Verse 3]
Consumed with struggle
Forever fighting
To be free of yourself
To face the stranger
In the pool's reflection
Your true self revealed

[Verse 4]
Even when the clouds have parted
All life turns to gray
And yet unlike the bruises
Your pain will never fade

[Verse 5]
So you beg death to free you
To take away your burden
Like a leaf on an autumn wind
All to be forgetten
