Poisonous Words

Pretender oh venomous pretender

Trying to proclaim that which will keep you sane

You shout in vain
You are to blame

Spewing lies, consumed by wailing cries

Nothing is real
Everything is real
Nothing is real

How much are you willing to steal?

You don’t want to be alone, but you’re cursed to roam

Scream so loud
You’re so damn proud

How much are you willing to steal?
Death is your release, nothing is real
