Fool Me Once

As I drew back 
I'm being drawn back again
I told my self I wouldn't trust
But I keep playing my own lie games
Like the Olympics 
I ran with the torch
I should have known
That playing with fire
I could possibly get burned 
The reason why it cross my mind 
Couldn't be clearer
I look at myself in the mirror
And once again the lights got dimmer
I was starting to do good again
I even wrote my emotions with the pen
My questions where all in my mind
My lungs filled
With more toxic lies
My mind cant process emotions 
When I'm nose blind
The sense that I cannot taste anything
With my eyes
How can I feel?
When ears can't even cry? 
I'm hypnotized but by who?
There isn't much a woman could do
