Lügen

the title means "lies" in German. enjoy! :DDD

Lügen

Change it,
The faces that you put on everyday.
Plaster your empty smile across your appearance,
Mutate the way the outsiders see you.

I see the pain that drives you,
The ambitions that unravel you.
I see the pats on the back they give;
You always go home and cry in the end.

I can see you look,
Each time your sight travels
I can see you try to find
Each time you have that searching expression.

Stand back as you see the mask
Your mask; see that they all put on
The same façade. I see your amazed look
When you finally figure it out.
But I doubt you ever will.

I don't need your pity,
You who hides behind a mask;
Too afraid to face the world.
I don't need your kindness….

Why don’t you just scream at me;
Run far away, and leave me be.
I see the truth that drives you,
And the lies that mask you.

I see your broken promises,
Lying under the rooftops of your past.
I see your shattered dreams,
Visible and taunting every time you dare to close your eyes.

I can see your pain,
The guilt that makes you lose yourself.
I see the haunting happiness
That gives you a false hope for the future
That is yet to come….
