Life's a deception... charm so sweet,

Melancholy's beat now repeats.

So powerful, yeah, that's the key.

A rough hand writes for you and me.

Close your eyes, I always pray for something new:

"Disturb your heart," see the truth...

Life's a lie, that's not always true.

Joy embraces lies adorned.

___

Life's a lie, I know it's real.

Though life's a lie, I find a way to heal.

___

Face high, gray skies so wide,

Fate by the moon, nowhere to hide.

Calm down, mortal, stay steady.

The truth you don't want is already here.

Bird cherry snow, no cold inside.

This path is life, let it ride.

Easy friends fail, betray all day long.

Tender touch, words so neat,

Evil tongues, a razor fleet, yeah.

Long prepped, anything I dare, never fear—

Used to it all, never clear.

___

Life's a lie, I know it's real.

Though life's a lie, I find a way to heal.

___

Heights so chill, the soul so cold... where?

No fire warms; stories told here.

Loved ones gone, I am lonely.

Who is there now to phone me?

Persecuted, yeah.

Look with a smile; I see the dear one.

Then you see, but that's okay so...

Thanks for this life, hear them say.
