So I met someone
A soul on fire
Unapologetic in his demeanor
Mischief plays at the corners of his smile

How was this one person able
To wipe the sleep from my eyes?
Not even on purpose

Suddenly I could see every lie
I'd told myself just to get by

Thought I'd already learned
That ignorance is not worthwhile
Bliss to an extent
But no substance in the shallow

Do you live on the surface
Or reside between the lines?
