These Lies

Heart not made of stone,
Soul locked inside the dark.
Here I stand alone
On this journey, ready to embark.

Back or forward, which way do I go?
Who to believe in this tangled web of lies?
What debt do I owe?
When do I get to cry?

I can’t stand this war raging in my mind,
I can’t stand these bright red tears.
I just wish I was blind
To all of these terrible fears.

The hurt racing through my veins-
I’m an explosion waiting to happen,
Forever, I cannot bear these chains.
Why must I fall again?

I just want it all to end,
I’m tired of waiting for tomorrow.
There’s no more time to mend,
Time to close this show.

The night has come to haunt me once more,
The light slowly begins to die.
I’m finally losing this war,
Because nothing beats these lies.
