The Honest Truth

Do you ever look back

At days gone by

And for no reason at all

Begin to cry

Haunting memories

You thought were long gone

Come back in a flash

And hit close to home

The road less traveled

The path unknown

Too scared to move

Too scared to be alone

A real fuckin shame

Rememberin what’s happened

This sure as hell

Wasn’t the life I imagined

A memory made

And a memory lost

Can’t pick and choose

And time won’t be paused

Maybe a little self-torture

Is good for the soul

Stickin the blade in your skin

Almost makes you whole

I got my pain

Locked away in my vault

Plenty of it there

But only some is your fault

Oh you have some guilt?

Tell me how that feels

Enlighten me a bit

Let’s see what’s revealed

Anger is just the tip

Of this iceberg

So much more there

But you share first

Wanna compare our scars

See who had it worse

Maybe my honesty

Is really my curse

Because I won’t lie

To protect your heart

Not after you took mine

And tore it apart

A little white lie

To hide the truth

I know you’re lyin

And so do you

Maybe some day

You’ll face the fact

That you made the mistake

That threw my life off track

You found the love

You’ve always needed

But walked away

Your fear succeeded

But for now we can just

Pretend that life is good

The world is perfect

Goin just the way it should
