Life of Lies
Where is my hope, where is my pride
Just a ball of pain on the cold hard floor
Starting from day one I had always believed
My life was happy devoid of problems
But I grew older, I grew wiser
Everything was sugar-coated, was a lie
And it hurts, but you can’t change the past
A small hole of light was burned
In the black canvass that made up my life
You held me as I cried
Found the truth behind the lies
But you, too, had lied
And the bitter aftertaste remains
Metallic like blood, salty like tears
That blood was from my bleeding heart
And those tears were from my gray-green eyes
And all that bitterness was my pain
The light is always doused out
By a double coating of black
Dark as moonless night
When will they learn, lie hurt
Like a knife to the chest
And I’m left the hole
Believing less and less in my life of lies
