Pretty Lies

The crystals drip from your eyes
"I'm fine" you say
One
Twice
Again and again

No one ever listens
They take your pretty lies
They eat them up
They never look past the surface

And you're left alone
A dark patch of shade in a sunny grove
A broken nail sticking up from a floorboard

Unnoticeable
Until someone needs you

So tell them your pretty lies
Keep every word you speak fake
Cover it with sugar
And keep forcing out those pretty lies

Just keep telling them those pretty lies
And maybe one day
You'll believe them too
