I'm mentally torn apart Take a step in my heart Go ahead! peel off all the skin Look at what lies within Behind cute the little sweet things Is an ugly reality tugging at my sanity. Life knows about me It will cover up the ugly So I don't end up in the ward I smile at my life's gifts gleefully Clutching life's sweet rewards Deep into my palm. This is my life A Sugar Coat The more I mask The less I ask Masking up the ugly, makes it so sweet Save your tears, just not this week Another day rolls along She been sick for too long Do my prayers ever get answered? It hurts to watch her struggle through. This is my little life It cuts me like a knife I might've won my little awards But I'm one step closer to the wards Where is he at The one who told me that I am his number one It felt like he wasn't here When the pang of stress was there. This is my life A Sugar Coat The more I mask The less I ask Masking up the ugly, makes it so sweet Save your tears, just not this week Another day rolls along Another broken promise Will he ever care to compromise? It pains me to see him Not care about his and our future.

The Sugar Coat
They'd do anything They could Just to make you fall for them Just for you to let your guard down Lies after lies Denials You knew from the start That they were liars But you hoped maybe they weren't So you gave in And fell for their trapped Now your trust's been destroyed Secrets unleashed And there's no one else to blame Except for your naive self For falling for a liar's lies.

Liar's Lies
You save all your sweetness for one lousy special day each year But then hardly notice her the other remaining 364 days Tell me truly how this is supposed to ever preserve any kind of love

Sugar for Salt
Why does morning coffee tastes like our bitter yesterdays? I added sugar to bring the sweetness back while all you do is sugarcoat everything. Cigarettes matches our coffee more than pastry maybe we are only destined to be a habit than being a necessity.

I don't believe in 'untruths.' Lies are lies; point blank.

Don't Sugar Coat...
Do you sugar coat your truths, So they don't taste as bitter? Will it make it sweet enough , To **** the essence of the truth? Or do you add a line of truth , between a series of casual talk? So they don't have chance to react, process the truth hidden in the words. Or are you someone brave , To speak the truth The way it is , And accept to face the brunt .

Truths
Some days when I wake up I look around, wanna burn the world All we've done is f*cked up Now its time to get f*cked All these empty threats And all these meaningless bets Could only ever make us End up at the edge Other times I wake up And look up at the ceiling Wondering about my purpose and is it Really true meaning? To make others happy They say you gotta be happy A puppet on a string a smile And a diamond ring Don't sugar coat it I'm allowed to feel like **** And still make others smile Even though it's been a while Since I did so myself

Purpose
I'm not going to lie to you and tell you there aren't any monsters, Nor am I going to sugarcoat the facts, People are monsters, kid. Humanity is imaginary. Everybody chewing each other's ears with horrible remarks, Making glass eyes fall out with every piercing stare. Skin breaking with each hit. So I don't understand why we check for monsters beneath the bed, When they are obvious, All around us. Causing suicide and death. Allowing people to fill our head, Our heart. That's when the real damage starts. The monsters possessing us. Their strong magic, So called love. Strong force, Squeezes our hearts and makes it pulse. Causing cracks, Until it rips out of our chest, And finds a new home in who made it that way. So yes, monsters are real. They are in your classes, And in your home. They are passing you in the store, And they are lying to you. But the realist part about this, Is you're a monster. As am I. We are all born this way. Humanity is imaginary. We are all monsters.
