A Fabrication of Life

The longing for tranquility was slowly replaced with apathy as the misanthrope in her got the final say. She wanted to love but what was the point? She dug herself further into the core of her being until she couldn’t hide anymore. Exposed to the world she began her quest for the meaning of it all, but like with everything else she ended up empty-handed. She gave it all her best but that was never good enough. In the darkness she looked for that voice of reason that would soothe the growing despair. The emptiness that will not be filled leaves her full but never content. It leaves her full, but never content.
She lies, lies, lies to keep herself afloat
She lies, lies, lies to keep the truth accurate.
She lies, lies, lies to herself, every day.
She lies, lies, lies to keep the truth accurate.
She lies, lies, lies to herself, every day.
It´s a fine line walking between insanity and keeping sane and she constantly walk the border on her tip-toes.
It´s a fine line walking the border of insanity and keeping sane, and she constantly walk the border on her tip-toes.
Delineating the hopes she left behind and mapping the path she could never follow.
And she lies, she lies
She can´t tame what rages inside but she abstains from the pain, feeding it with sweet sweet lies and self-loathing.
Just to stay herself she pretends to be whole. x 3
She acts as if the scars are healed and everything is forgotten. x 2
But she lies, lies, lies, to herself every day.
She lies lies lies to keep the truth accurate.
She fills the vast space with everything that sustains an existence.
But she lies, oh, she lies.

Petticoat In Ashes

They saw each other across the room and began talking. He had beautiful eyes and she had a pretty smile. He caressed her hair, she stroke his hand. He asked if they could go somewhere quiet to talk. As soon as the door closed, his eyes changed and he grabbed her and forced her to the floor.
She screamed to the ceiling while he forced her to the floor.
For each time she said no, he said yes.
For every thrust she sank further and further away from herself.
Buried six feet under, she lost everything she had ever had.
10 minutes changed a lifetime, his lust for her will to live.
One truth to another.
We are all ashes now
She will never forget
She will never forgive
We are all ashes now.
One life for another, one will over another.
She lost her smile but oh he kept those eyes. We are all guilty.
Her soul flickered, was ablaze for a second and burned out the next. As long as we all stand idly by, we are all guilty.
From her ashes we all will rise.
We are all guilty.
We are all ashes now
She will never forget
She will never forgive
We are all ashes now.
Petticoat in ashes, we are all guilty, we all burn now.
