Unlocked Doors

Reality, it changes No, it always stays the same You’ve turned too many pages Please go back the way you came I’ve become warped and weathered Many pages left to write ‘Bout how “my heart’s been severed” And how “day turns into night” Many times have I cried wolf When I say “cried”, I SCREAMED This guilt, it will engulf While depravation haunts my dreams When there was no dangerous flame I forever shouted "FIRE!" So, when everybody came They all yelled back "YOU LIAR!" PLEASE HELP! I AM ON FIRE AND THE WOLF, HE LIT THE MATCH! These words do not inspire And they show you all I lack Look past what is seen with eyes Stare into my heart with yours You’ll see hope and love disguised As cleverly unlocked doors
