I see

lies

Fire in my eyes,

the depth of my soul.

Screaming out the lies

you include in this role.

Tell me what to say,

how I’m supposed to feel.

I can do it all

and make you think it’s real.

There you are,

far beyond my scope.

Taunting me from high,

I stand below my hope.

If I try to better,

I can make you see.

It's not your fault

I can't change who I want to be.

You don’t see where you’re going,

I see it all just fine.

And watch as you hit the wall

That’s just beyond the line.
