Lies of Glass

Lies of Glass

An innocent boy

Is what this one shows

A sweet child

Is all that this one knows

All of them, lies

Lies made of glass

They give you answers

To questions you didn't ask

The picture I see

Does not imply

That lives have been taken

By this sweet guy

The boy with the deep eyes

And the sarcastic grin

Surely this child

Has committed no sin

I scoff at them

What they give are lies

The comical smile

The innocent eyes

They do not tell

Of the terror, the fright

Of the bad dreams

That come with the night

They give the image

People want to see

They don't show the warrior

Inside of me

Careful as you might be

You'll never see that part

They lie about your face

Then they cover your soul and heart

But can my soul be all evil

If I'm fighting for good

That is the puzzle

I've never understood

The confusion, the evil

The death and the fear

All covered up

By this image here

I can't take this anymore

Too many lies told and questions asked

So I shatter the mirror

And destroy the lies of glass
