do the lies sting in your throat
do they burn in your mouth
like acid when you spit them out

how do you keep up
with your slaughterhouse of pain
how do you drown out the screaming

shattered windows and blood splattered floors
cracked ceilings and half rotten doors

your lies are like knives
slicing so lightly
your words are like fire
burning me so brightly

scars litter my body
scars coat my brain

you say you are my friend
then why do you bring pain

what's the point in lying
just tell me the truth

if this keeps going
your words will turn into my noose
