Observe this web of lies you've spun
Laugh as the lives, stuck, wriggle like flies
Caught within
Full knowledge of what happens next
Full knowledge this is the end
This web of lies
So hard to destroy
built with iron-like silk
Withstanding hurricane storms
Of emotion
Never failing
Holding up to the winds
Collecting your sins
Only adding insult to injury
Is there escape to this
Un-thwarted fate
Is giving up an option?
No...
I will fight to the death
Battle until my last breath
Your name the last from my lips
