verity: true principle or belief; a truth
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

a lie
playing part of our lives
living on facade
is all that we are

life is a movie
where liars live, love and lie
carving for verity around

costumes and masks
slipping like sand
in between the script of life
at performing stage

let me tell you the truth

i got a golden heart
yeah, that everyone says
which wears out like olden rose

what they never said
that even sun can get eclipsed
by darkness looming moon

it is a truth

night is a strange beauty
adorning love with star
like promises

what it never reveals
that lonely, haunting sleepless
night without rest

it is a truth

complication of every day's
are romanticised everytime
when reality hits so hard
it turns their heads away

when we're young
each single thing felt endless
eventually leading heaps
of dreams and prospect

now, there is so many waiting
rooms in my heart and soul
i don't know what to feel
anymore

which is a truth
