To those who pretend...
.\Transparent, I see through the lies you've woven around your outter demons.
Keep yourself buried beneath hollow words.
It matters not to me what you do to keep your demons at bay.
Locked within your mindless reasoning... I pity you

Escape the practicality of reason and run away with thoughts of choice and free will
Neither of which are truly captured by illusion
Masks to cover up the scars of forgotten yesterdays
Choking on the dust of words held captive
Shackled by promise and reason

Lose control, no no that's a sin in which there is no way to repent.
Addiction to vanity and self inflicted misery
Shameless longing played upon a breath of self control
Banish the thoughts of regret and self worth

Give in to the voice of obsession
Feed the spirit within
Pray for the longing to forgive
Tear down your walls, your layers of protection
Expose the hidden deadly truth, lie naked and exposed among your twisted reason
Laugh wildly as the darkness seduces the senses and pushes you past the breaking point

Dancing with insanity
Turn a blind eye on the effects of losing control
Ripples in the reasoning you so love to hide behind
Right or wrong don't matter in the darkness
Come out and play
The devil with in wants to have his say.
Lend your ear for his teeth to scrap and whisper promises that mean nothing
Give in, or go back to your reasoning
Oh ever the pretender...
