I'm a fraud A liar An utter mess I keep on walking, smiling, trying Yet to what end is this all for? Hope, dreams, and aspirations are of no worth to those dead inside It doesn't matter how hard one tries, that twinkle will never return to our eyes In our solitude are we with kindred souls Through tears, we smile For the remembrance of our precious beat do we trudge on I'm not alone in my suffrage Though not my intent, do the lies spout For those who still have that twinkle Whom still have the beat of life within For the love that tethers me to them Such are the lies told; Of excitement for the next dawn Of aspirations for the future Of hope for tomorrow

The Lies We Tell
I'm a fraud A liar An utter mess I keep on walking, smiling, trying Yet to what end is this all for? Hope, dreams, and aspirations are of no worth to those dead inside It doesn't matter how hard one tries, that twinkle will never return to our eyes In our solitude are we with kindred souls Through tears, we smile For the remembrance of our precious beat do we trudge on I'm not alone in my suffrage Though not my intent, do the lies spout For those who still have that twinkle Whom still have the beat of life within For the love that tethers me to them Such are the lies told; Of excitement for the next dawn Of aspirations for the future Of hope for tomorrow
