Living the same lies

Your typical words fall flat on the floor

The ones I have heard again from before

The same satire of a washed up man

who gave up, stopped trying, and couldn't stand



You lost yourself in the lines

of broken promises and repeated whines

behind the mask of what they see

there is the boy I knew, lying to me



Old words and promises fall to the floor

morals and love being checked at the door

Memories slowly wearing away

the faith of a man dying each day



Caught in the dreams left from then

Lying and crying again and again

Never changing repeated sins

Living the same lie now you lived then
