I tell this slender lie
Like a glue between saner days
It flicks from my lips like snaketongue
Anaesthetic, ripe and rude.
Don't judge me, f***er!
Take away the lie
And you spill my crazy.
No-one wants that.
So.
Sidestep the shit I say
Be on your grounded, balanced way.
Don't know what's worse - the slender lie
Or the big, fat truth it barely hides.

The Octoberman. All I need is a bottle of Talisker, a keyboard and you. Facebook: Nikarkham www.nikarkham.co.uk
I see your distorted image, In the shattered mirrored frame. The shards of glass spread, Tells us of your shame. Your jumbled up face, Worn out from all the lies.
A frozen calm has gripped my soul. A silence....so still. Emotions recede in the eye of the storm. I have taken my fill. Within the boundaries of my shell, A void, so deep.
They're like evil little monsters That eat away your life. You tell one, And somehow it multiplies itself. It grows and boils inside To the point where you find yourself drowned in them.
He lends me a darkness. so that i can truly see. He fills my heads silence. with the shrillest of screams. He bestows upon me memories. so vividly real. He temporarily bandages wounds.
My face is like a mask, It hides me from the truth, It can let me be somebody else, Somebody harsh, cruel, uncouth.
What's this. You best look twice What's that. The test took twice What That. Illusion Confusion . What's that. Your losing Your feel Your bruising. Your will. Your cruising To kill.
Deeply buried within lies. A secret that are not meant to be known. Round the world, trust is gone. Keys are either thrown away or buried. Scared and forbidden. Even one self is never to be trusted.
Lying to yourself to keep yourself sane. Believing the lies because its the only way. Trusting its the only way so that you don't break. Wishing that you broke so you didn't have to lie.
