Such a Beautiful Lie

Part II

Would it have mattered?

Would it have made a difference?

Would it have changed the way I looked at the world

If I had kept awake ...

To only look at broken skies

Crying tears of fire upon our skin

And scars hidden well among the willows

Only serve to remind us our foolishness

Am I done being the hero?

In some story book that everyone knows the end

Am I done being the victim?

Trusting others to carry the fight ...

No...

Truth is

I just want to close my eyes

again

and again ...

when everybody's out there is living 

the beautiful lie

In some parts of each lives ...
