About Lies

Signs ignored, decaying in slow motion
Those empty eyes, I stay away
Mistrust forcing night upon the day
This is where we end, I stay away

I saw the distance take control
I felt the shallow rise
And the friend that I once knew
I watched him crumble and fall

Make up, make up just another story
Bleed between the lines
A victim seeking circumstance
A pity poet in disguise

Your pretense reeks of arrogance
Rotten to the core
Hide your wrongs in borrowed rights
Just burn the witches and the whores
Yours is the fight, yours is the burden
Always looking for attention
Nasty habits, attitudes
Choices, consequences

This is the road to hell
Ego-driven parody with a taste of regret
Down with the masters
Of double standard fairytales
Who shun the light, stay out of sight
May this be the day

Whoa! Empty hands of angry fists
Confusing friend with foe
You're alone and left behind
The ones you can't control

Shame me, frame me
You can go to hell
And feed on your frustration
Spreading empty promises
Blame and accusation

Yeah! This is the road to hell
Ego-driven parody with a taste of regret
Down with the masters
Of double standard fairytales
Who shun the light, stay out of sight
May this be the day
May this be the day
The day!

This is the truth about lies
Mistaken friendship for common ground
Hold on, lover
Hold on, hold on
See my eyes as they want you one last time

This is the truth about lies
Head under water where I can't breathe
This is the truth about lies (about lies)
This is just another one
This is just another one

All the signs ignored
While you're decaying in slow motion
Those empty eyes, I stay away!
