Staring right back, a lie through the glass. |
Staring right back A lie through the glass See the eyes And fake veracity Shattered before light Until you turn around And it’s back A cause at the heart Scrape it up with your nails Cut through with a knife Laughing, as crimson drops of fallacy Stream out from beneath And the cloying scent of darkness Wafts through The head listens The heart hears And the plea is ignored Once again It contorts Gnawing on the insides Swallowed by a lie By a mask And back to the heart, despondency Flows through veins of ice The darkness comes In shadows Lingering on your heart Bleakness everywhere Lifeless inside Like all the rest A twisted laugh A screwed-up smile And another deadpan look You’ve felt the cracks Too late You’ve already snapped The noise thuds through Yet no one hears the sound Reality echoes around And flies by out the door Disregarded, ignored Unseen Another inwards sigh Another lie Another fist through your reflection You pick up the pieces But they don’t fit together, anymore Listen to the silence As they build a wall Around your heart Each time they try to enter A fence of glass slices through Piercing your heart You lie and you lie Hell, you even try the truth To blank and empty stares The air burns With unsaid messages And while you know they were spoken You guess they weren’t meant To be heard It’s so hollow And you try to grasp At meaningless concepts To fill the emptiness you feel In your soul |
