Analysis of Lies
We felt warmed by the days
We lighted our faces upon the sun
We spoke out of tales
Evenly I spoke less
You brought the joy out of your lips
Some hopes I felt by your sayings
Secretly they blind folded my core
Some acts that went with truth
I thought matured you were
We played the game
So well and perfectly we played
Until I seek distraction
Blames you will never put upon your shoulders
I keep my words to myself
I seek for no joy these days
