My bones are liars

One day I'll look in the mirror
Blade to my wrist
Blood on my hands
And smile with red teeth

For the already dead shall never die
Even six feet under cant bury my sins
My bones are liars
My skin is paper thin

They say tomorrow's another day
They say to have patience for brighter suns
That one day I'll find peace
They do not know that they are all wrong

You cannot outrun who you are
But you can always stay two steps ahead in shameful lies
Not as shameful as what I am
Not as shameful as my hatred for myself

These bones are liars
Don't listen to a story they tell
To the words they say
They will always lie to you

I believe you voice and so do you
Don't dig deeper than what you've been told
You know what you must and not a syllable more
I am what I am and I'm not what I'm not
My words are the only truth you need

My bones are liars
Don't listen to them when I'm dead
Turn a blind eye on what you see
My word is all you need
