This song was written when someone I played in a band was revealed to have a dark secret that the other band members were not aware of. Sometimes people are not what they seem to be.

Book of Life – by Aria Stone
The book of life is written
Like numbers in the sand
Watch them disappear
Under the water
And everything you thought you knew
All your detailed plans
Are traces left behind
In the morning
And I oh I yes I oh I
Keep dreaming
When people that you thought you knew
Are just another lie
I throw their indiscretions
To the wind
‘Cause I won’t be the victim
Of their filthy little crimes
Take the bitter pill
For all your sins
And I oh I yes I oh I
Keep dreaming
Though winter
Is freezing
I remember
Spring
And to keep
Dreaming
Yes, I will be your lover
And I will be your friend
Watch the silver lining
Through the dark cloud
‘Cause life is just too short, you know
To regret those little things
That hold you back from doing
What you ought to
