What lies before me is a broken promise I held so tightly to the precious fragments What hope was left was tossed upon the dying Every empty word I speak will **** what's left inside I'm such a beautiful liar I fall in love with my own delusions My personal deception is gorgeously executed I savor every word as it desensitizes me I like to mask the bitter taste of reality with the sweetness of my lies I question life every hour of my existence I live as though I'll some day wake up from this all When I close my eyes I think I see my purpose If I reach far enough I can feel what's left behind I'll fade away And feed on my deceit I must sacrifice all I use to cope
