colered in lies

This life had left me so tired and old

I hate what I have become

The truth was in lies I bought and then sold

Now all I feel is the numb

I walked with the devil and didn't much care

So young I was playing the game

For whatever reason I chose not to share

Now all I have left is my name

In thinking about all that was lost

What was given to pay for the lie

Now I sit alone with the cost

Of chasing the need to stay high

Even as this dream gives way to despair

I feel I am coming undone

No longer fear the reaper's hard stare

No longer to blacken the sun

Peace comes with knowing endgame is near

Life begins severing ties

Keep faith with your god and you've nothing to fear

Just remember its colered in lies. Hy
