Lies
What can you tell me?
Lies.
Plagues of the soul,
black and oozing.
Fake the mask,
glue it together,
from shards of shattered glass.
Paint it black to cover the red.
Paint your face,
in shades of tan
to hide the veins
of ooze under your skin.
Hide the wolf in your eyes,
with laughs and lies.
Hide you heart,
behind steel and stone.
Deceivers and hunters,
litter the ground behind you.
Their blood is a threat,
to all you have made.
Smile for the cameras.
Walk the catwalk and
don't look back.
Pretend that the dead things pulling at your hair,
aren't really there at all.
Repeat the words of a long broken mantra in your head,
"The mask will stay,
the tears won't wash the paint away.
I will not break."
Pretend to be a perfect doll,
perfection personified.
Not a lie or a scar.
You have everybody fooled,
but not me.
A golden god,
made of fools gold
a top a marble pedestal
all filled with cracks.
A fake sparkle catches their eyes
and draws them in.
The weight of the world slowly shoves you down
breaking your back.
Olympus is falling.
Your fooling others,
lying to the bone.
You never were and you never will be,
a star, an immortal hero.
A dream, you are, a shattered reality.
Lies. Lies. Lies.
They rain down to smother you.
Lie to others, deceive yourself,
dance to the music
and laugh to the jokes.
Try to stay afloat,
and watch as the world leaves you behind.
As they worship an image,
an illusion.
A.
Fake.
Throw yourself to the flames
to rid yourself of the ghosts
the hands that are ripping you to shreds.
Bloody piece by bloody piece.
Kick and scream
until they release.
Slowly the pieces crumble,
the projection flickers.
And you fall.
The marble crumbles.
The paint drips down,
and the world...
BREAKS.
Hello people of fanfiction! It has been soooooo friggin' long since I last updated! I mean it has been close to 5 months. That's so sad when you think about it. But in my defense I have had the worst writers block in the history of writers block. But it seems to be going away now, thank God.
Anywho, if you can't tell this one is about Shawn and the fact that even though he likes play psychic, after a while he kinda just does it for them. Puts on a show that he has to, to please everyone because they start to expect him to solve every case and be this perfect person.
This was inspired by the song "Everybody's Fool" by Evanescence, so if you see anything that sounds like it belongs in the song, now you know why. And really, if you haven't heard that song yet, you should! It is sooo good.
Sincerly the ever InSAnE,
Synk
