Treasure Me

This girl I know stays hidden beneath the Winter's snow She doesn't want to be seen by those who never understand by the ones so unclean Her lies come free with every purchase That's what she said to me when I gave her my soul to keep and do as she willed she was the Devil's personal mole Hidden in plain view so no one could truly see the pain she really knew the horror she only told me This girl I once knew was a little like me and a lot like you Blinded, so you wouldn't see what was real or what was true She told me that her lies came free with any purchase of choice so I paid the price for choosing my voice She kept her end told me that the reprocussion scars will mend She told me to speak my mind to never leave a thing behind and I did just as she told before long, my will began to fold I became bent and broke Heard the things that I spoke Regret and pain, the wounds started to show Her lies were true, I soon would know A devil's advocate A sinner's ecstacy Who could have thought that the fallen angel would be me Tomorrow I take the girl's place To betray my own race Turn my own kind against myself for the common good or the blinded wealth The cycle never stops it will never end because where there are choices the human will can bend
