You feel the lies

slipping out

~TWistInG~

round and round

(just a white lie)

(just a few half-truths)

"just a bit tired"

more like

exhausted

"are you alright?"

: ) "I'm fine" : )

As you

/sh/ut/off/

your 'family'

your 'friends'

(you just don't feel like talking)

[don't feel like doing anything much]

you've "got a cold"

"doctor's orders"

"sounds like fun! but..."

You feed them the little

(white poison pills)

and it shocks

*pleases*

you

when they swallow them down

without a second glance

(leaving you)

in peace

in *pain*

but when did

(just a few white lies)

become

The Truth

(or close on)

-?-

now they march in

(2-4-6-8)

[leftrightleftright]

(and)

-CENTRE-

little white armies

(taking over your world)

and now they ask

no, Demand

(mercenaries always do)

(you should have known that)

Punishment

(but they all drink away)

the poison

(just like you want)

Don't you?

leaving you in peace

quiet&soothing&silence

*sobbing*

but the walls you

BUILT

(up high)

^high^high^

safe&secure&strong

impenetrable

weren't to keep them out

they were to keep

you

IN.

(and they ain't)

coming tumbling

d

Just like those lies

those

oh-so-little

itty-bitty

whoppers

they weren't for them

no, they were for

you

tricked you?

got you!

tangled and

entangled

caught

tight

*struggling*

in your

own

web

(of little)

(white)

(lies)

will you

surrender

?

?

?

a little

white

flag

?

(that's all)

it

(takes)

?

(?)

Well?
