Fire Wall

Someone's sneaking,
reading, peeking,
poking, prying, trying, seeking...
Seeing if your secret's leaking,
seeping through, the walls have weakened,
finding out the facts you're keeping
seeing through your thin disguise...

And someone's breaking
enter, taking,
entertaining, gaining, raking
in the money for the making,
staking out the doubt you're shaking
seeing through the You you're faking
knowing you're Just Living Lies.

Tried to message you back but you've got mail turned off. Something's going on with the site; I've had the same thing happen as Skat reported, about stuff disappearing so I think it's a fluke. Turn your mail on otherwise I can't write back. See what you've done? Mass hysteria! lol

It killed me that this was so good and I could not pick it apart. I was dying to! You, only you, could have written this. Can't believe I didn't catch it sooner! After 20 years, I knew you were the only one capable of this genius, butthole.

Kind of sad the cat's outta the bag...it was so much fun writing for you. You've been a great muse :). Loved Assault and Pepper...knew it was for me instantly. The title made me chuckle immediately!
