Faux

The truth is, I've been looking for something to fill up this void
There's a solemn emptiness behind the faux glitz and glamor
My lips and the sweet promises they spill are laced with poison

We're catering to the wishes of the world
Everyone wants to believe they're in control
All hell would break lose if the truth came out
We're all just floating in an ocean of despair

The anguished voices of my subconscious depths whisper my hidden desires and fears
All these broken emotions appear impossible to vanquish
As I stare out into the lifeless road of lights, my heart sinks
Was love ever worth it if it hurt so much?

How long have you been hiding, how long have you been running away?
Escaping, evading, erasing all the pain?
I was once filled with rage
Now that the day draws nearer,
I can't seem to remember what was even wrong

Oh how I desire to be numb
Hypnotize myself with flashing trails of the urban glow, draining the glass empty, and adorning myself with all the colors

My broken heart turned amnesiac
So afraid to say goodbye, so afraid to freeze alone in this bitter cold
Suddenly, I'm willing to forgive it all
No, I'm willing to forgive nothing because I can't even remember what offense could have possible been made against me
