Death and Taxes

I don't know what my feelings are
Or why I cling to you so much
I dont know why I can't control
The thought that life is such.

You are the star of shining hope
In the middle of the dark
But when I take my mask back off
You no longer leave a mark

I miss you when you're not around
With a kind of pain that tears me apart
I try to stay on the positive side
But this pain rips to shreds my heart

My soul no longer has it's own light
It is the moon while you are the sun
And when you leave, my spirit goes out
And it's like staring down the barrel of a gun
