Fallback of Lies

My words escape my thoughts With a cloak of lies And a hood of silver Lips of gold And an accent of truth My mind's deceiving oath Perpendicular array of the lying cloak A dark shadow's shining on my eyes As my lips whisper lie after lie And you tell me to faint Fall back on my everlasting When everything else is gone Either way I'm not walking on my own The bars are bent and weakened My everything and all is leaving I'm standing and saying my peace As my soul comes crashing within Without the pressure of the world Spinning on the edge of a dime Stop, take back, think back Realize, hold on, stay strong Take luck, good care See you at the end, see you then I'll see you at the end
