the crooked smile of denial...
Sing your song!!
Silence the war drums
and
quiet the alarms.
Sing your song!!!
Coat reality with your childish charm.
Let the love lure your heart through the cleverly hidden trap door,
Right into-
the middle of a padded room floor.
Spinning the days away,
In a beast like haze,
While blazing your mind,
Into a chaotic daze.
So you still sing your song
and
of course sin is to blame,
For your soul being lost at the cost of your heart being tamed.
She once was told,
By loved ones gray and old,
That Heaven is a dream,
Hell is a nightmare,
and
somewhere in between reality lies.
Green was the color of a greedy alibi,
Tearing away at the love in the Innocent ones eyes.
Bought and sold,
The sirens sad tale told.
