SILENCED LIES IN TRUTH
Let them go is what we hear the soft voices in our souls shout.
Just before our lies start turning into mould.
Building onto heaps of moles transcending into high mountains with invisible peaks.
And so the voices speak as we go on around passing due date as lies we are pregnant with.
Projected in our tongues,we put on masks that shift when they must.
So we move on fast,past these chapters and forget all that matters like your soul silently shouting,rattling these cages bottled up into bottles we wish away
into the sea.
So with these secrets we let live.
He holds onto burdens of yesterday,she wishes this part today could be told and we hang onto hope that tomorrow they'll never know and so we never let them go.
Gunning for the ones who confessed to that lie and so we hide in illusions,
delusioned minds,poisoned by these truths we forge though they do not balance.
So on justified scales we sailed as the truth derailed till it was delayed,and to bottled up secrets we waved.The heart out of sync with the soul coz blood is all that it pumped.
And having a soul meant believing in love,
and love had no hurt,
and the heart had never heard a lie.
As we lie on a bed when things are bad.
They say you lie on the bed that you make so this chance you had to take coz life didn't give another take.So you pretended as if it was too late just to tell this tale.
Just a folk-tale to tell your mind when you do mind your conscience.
We consigned our obvious thoughts to oblivion coz we lost what there was to believe in.
On the ideas of imperfection we dangled on coz we were just humans who let live on.
On our beds we lie till sleep takes control.Our thoughts we do control,so our souls we do ignore when their whispers we silently hear,coz lies we knew were always near
and the truth was just too harsh to hear.."
