It's kind of fun to do the impossible

Locket worn around my neck
never opened always kept,
keep your secret hidden safe
broken picture with no face,

Left unto the artist's fate
draw the smile
draw the eyes
never know the pain it hides

Draw the ears,
hair and nose,
never know the pain it holds

Hide behind your guilded frame
let others paint your face by day
by night the paint begins to fade.

This is about conformity, too many people are just "going with the flow" and not standing up for ourselves, and our friends.

&quot;At this moment, there are 6 billion, 4 hundred, 71 million, 8 hundred, 18 thousand, 6 hundred, 71 people in the world. Some are running scared.. some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day.. others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good, and some are good.. struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world, 6 billion souls -- and sometimes.. all you need is 1.&quot;
