Deception

Speechless impostures

What can I say

When words go missing

Like fugitives

Making my throat swell up

With unspoken truth

The accomplices of the lies

The

Grand

Illusion

Don't you dare

So, I became a canvas for them

They think they know

Who I am

Who they are

What life is about

What a sham

Give me real stuff to gnaw on

Or else

Say what?

We're puppets in this charade

The deception of control

Uncover

Truth?

Only in dream life

Where shadows dance like bouncy balls

An orchestra of madness

Until the spell is broken and flames consume us

To be cleansed and reborn

Word!
