| Deceit |
| Locked away in a prison of self-deceit Naked and ashamed, all I can do is weep Captive of misery, hidden away in agony's keep I pretended to be something I wasn't I paid the price Drowning in a sea of remorse and contrition I strayed from the light, my only reward is constriction Caught in a web of depression, vanity's price Unfeeling and indifferent, a heart of ice At life's mercy, my fate a roll of the dice Spawn of lies, trying to find truth in the midst of it all Lost in my mind, seeking a cure to my dysphoria Disheartening shame, memories of euphoria A heart melted by the acid of deception The harsh reality of trauma's conception Wounded by Satan's feral sword, there can be no exception Cast from paradise by God's hand into the poverty of sin Hidden behind a mask, a cloak of deceit The key to happiness I seek From the chalice of life I drank the poison of fate Crushed by heartbreak's overburdening weight Tears of regret, I weep at Hade's gate Unchosen by the Lord in the harvest of souls A heart overflowing with the venom of lies Mirrored by bitterness, staring eye to eye with my demise |
