Lies - thrown at me, smothered me
a blanket, a killer
Over and over, pushed into them
until I could only believe
Vanity of yours makes illusions
that none see, none follow
Everyone lured, like me,
but only I can see.

Anger, injustice, budding up
Never did I think I'd need to
Delve into my crimson side again

Heaven knows you won't prefer it
this me that lives in cages
Adversity, you, and your lies
brought it out again
Tell yourself tales of my harmlessness
at night, shivering, cold
Emphasis on you, and your honeyed words
and where once was love,
hate reigns.
