Sweet Verity

We wander through this cold world forever in search of answers; Finding ourselves tipsy in thought, drunk on the words of a fairytale, and wasted on the idea of Truth. Only our bare feet will know what it's like to travel so far along a path parted with Despair merely because a lie could never be painful enough to stop us from seeking the truth. And as we learn more about what a question is, we seem to learn more about what an answer isn't. So we clench our fists in distraught as we're forced to watch what we thought we knew slowly drown in rivers and meander into oblivion. But as much as we connect our nighttime stars to form the words in our fairytales, we'll always remember how desperate we've become to simply begin changing the truth we thought we wanted to hear, because perhaps this white lie sounded a little less bitter.
