What is this fragment you say has no life?

What is the pigment behind those brown eyes?

For I can only dream the dreams left behind

Desire the wants of needs

Crying out in pain with no remorse to sow

The unbreakable truth to follow you

For my sorrow left my head spinning

Cast out from the depths of my soul

Where your lies stack

Stack higher and higher

No room to scream

No way to get out

No place to run

Deceitful, disgraceful

Not even I can rescue you

Who are you to judge me?

Who are you to call me a liar?

When all see on you

The faces of your hidden desires
