Why Lie
Why lie?
It only wastes your time.
You cannot see the pain that it causes deep inside.
You are blind to the troubles that arise on the outside.
Why deny the truth
when it is holding you pinned to the ground?
Why hold inside the tears that you are dying to cry?
Why lie?
These iron hands that turn the clock,
choke you until nothing more can escape;
so you remain silent,
unwillingly letting these lies pull you down.
Why hide behind a mask of someone you truely are not?
Why do you hide in the dark,
praying that you won't be found?
Don't you want some help?
Somebody to release you from this chain of alibis
that holds you so close to the cold, hard ground...
forbidding you from ever escaping,
until now.
Being lost, you are truely alone.
Take my hand and we'll make it through together,
battling this constant fight evermore.
I'm looking for somebody,
I beg you please somebody help me through.
These lies that you create won't give you anything of use.
They will kill you before you can realize
the intoxicating drugs they will pull you into.
So why lie?
Why give up yourself to nothing but a linking chain of lies?
A dedicated life of lies.
Why lie?
