A Life of Lies

Sunday, April 5, 2015

Showers of lies and a fistful of heartfelt truth
Some buried memories of past and long empty roads of winter,
A lone traveler of dark roads leading nowhere,
And you have me in your palms looking down and wondering,
If only you knew what it means to be human and to feel the heartbeat of another,
We could see the summer again and feel the touch of an escaping ray of sun
Through those hair of yours, blowing in the wind,
We’d be in a beach somewhere, sand in our shoes,
Or just sitting there in the dark by ourselves.

Or maybe we could just dream all this sitting in a dirty city apartment,
Blaming our fate that we ended up like nothing
But we would still have ourselves and that dirty apartment would have been ours to share,
We could have everything or nothing at all,
It all leads to us being us, and it’s nothing without you, there is no “us”,
My nights are my own and so are the days,
Richest man in the city not having to share any of my dreams.

I have become a no one and no one really sees me wandering,
Like a ghost I’m here and I’m not, just a puff of smoke,
Waiting to be withered away with the next blow of wind.
Wish I could tell you the truth running through my veins
Wish I could cut open a wrist and be done with it all,
Just another story of a coward running away,

Wish it wouldn't have to end this way.
