| Lies A dark shadow falls across my face The night enfolds me in its black embrace I surrender to the emotionless sky As I kiss my innocence goodbye. I try to talk but my words are stuck In my broken dreams and tragic luck They tell me I have nothing to fear But I see in their eyes that they are not sincere. The tone of their voices scares me I know there is more that I should see But a veil has clouded my eyes A veil of broken trust and lies, lies, and lies. My hands are tied behind my back My innocence is under attack 'Cos I'm just a girl with little power Against these animals I cower. They are trying to use me in ways that are not right But I won't give up without a fight Slowly the weight which held me down Is lifting and I watch them frown. The knots slip undone and the veil is raised Instead of scared I'm now amazed There was a strength inside of me That enabled me to set myself free. |
