Missing

It never changes, everyone lies
The world will spin and everyone dies
But when we’re gone will we leave a mark
Or will our lives fade into the dark
Would anyone notice when I’m gone
Or would they forget me with the dawn
If I stepped back from all I know
Would they notice I didn’t show
Just a shadow upon this life
Finally bowing to all the strife

Illusions

Fire burning dim in her eyes
As she sees through all of the lies
The reality becoming clear
As she tries to grasp what she holds dear
But all the illusions turn to smoke
And with each breath she begins to choke
Until she can breathe no more
And falls slowly to the floor

Exposure

She stands with defiance in her eyes
No longer does she believe the lies
Told by those she once held dear
Their true selves are now so clear
Deceit and betrayal are all they know
Their ugliness within starting to show
No longer can they hide behind their lies
She tears away each shred of their disguise
Having exposed them she walks away
Head held high, she’s no longer their prey

Something Inside

I feel something changing in me
No longer content will I be
Deception and betrayal have defined
This path I take, I am no longer blind
To the lies on which life is built
I will not be a slave to guilt
Though this life of mine has gone to hell
I refuse to be condemned to dwell
In the deepest pits of ash and flames
I’ll no longer play the devil’s games
Look upon me now and you will see
I’m done playing nice, I am now free
