Secrets & Lies

They love you
They need you
They'll never leave you.
You drink their poison
You take this potion,
and you run this notion
through your head-
But you, my friend
are dark and dead.
Wipe the slime that coats your eyes
and taints the world you see.
Now everything is black around you,
Black inside you;
dead beneath.

Truth whispers around you,
too faint to hear;
But you know what it's saying.
That message is loud and clear-
ESCAPE FROM HERE
AND DON'T LOOK BACK.
But you, my love
are cold and black.
You fake to find the strength you lack
in their bright and shining faces.
But they lead you to the darkest places.
Or are you leading them?

You fake, you smile,
You lie, you hide,
and bit by bit you die inside.
You laugh and rot;
You feed the flies.
Tell me secrets.
Tell me lies.

--Lo--
