I'll settle for lies,
shush, hush, don't
let the baby wake.

I'll settle for lies,
as I take my last,
sip of your words.

I'll settle for lies,
as I step through,
the maze of your mind.

I'll settle for your lies,
lay the labyrinth ahead,
losing myself in circles.

I'll settle for your lies,
I seek rebellion from,
the scars you cut into me.

I'll settle for your lies,
let me be, unleash me,
I'm not letting you **** me.

I tell the lies, as I race,
ahead through the streets,
I hear the music playing,
my final funeral request.

I tell the lies, as I race,
through empty alleys,
drug infested waters,
I breath **** in.

I tell the lies, as I race,
telling you what I live
for, no sorrow left even,
in these eyes of mine.

I tell the lies, as I climb
the ladder, to above,
over in a second,
you barely caught a glance,
was that even me?
