Box of Lies

Sliver slice emotional ties

 

Inhabiting a box of lies

 

drifting farther; farther from you

 

all of which I knew to be true.

 

morphing mystic synergies

 

and energies; synthetic

 

seeing is believing

 

the constant tug of our desires

 

time streams karmic choices

 

Dust collecting on the wires

 

of corruption much like rust

 

on a silver slicing sword

 

You want to scrape this blade clean

 

While I occupy a maze

 

of free lance opposition

 

Feed my needing to be free

 

of the hold you have on me.

 

Fighting with myself

 

to leave this life behind

 

When I've seen it all before

 

each ploy, plot, nock, laughter

 

Play my role to paper thin

 

now I'm breathing in disaster
