Expansions of Reality

Accusations of a lie laying just below the surface,
Quickly replacing secrets long ago hidden within a mind so fully sober,
Distracted minds forgot to destroy evidence now to serve a purpose,
All the while knowing an honest heart will expose us all once this game is over.

Forever and now we’ll walk amongst the dead to perform on broken glass,
An effort in vain to seek out that which we know we’ve never had,
The poisonous cure to clear an empty conscience and keep from bringing up the past,
And the antidote for forgiving these souls that nearly drove us mad.

How easy it has become to trade excuses for one last chance to lie,
A practice we live for knowing all other reason has faded,
Wrapped up and trapped inside this ever tightening noose we failed to untie,
Confining us to this fate less hell we’ve blindly created.

Our thoughts held hostage within our own minds drown into a darkness clearly unknown,
Draining into the crevasses of those who found a way,
Expanding throughout a lie- not even of our own,
Echoing around this madness of the haunted words were left unable to say.

Now we pray these jaded souls be given a chance to go on,
Fears long forgotten without the silence in our deafening screams,
And may we finally awaken in confusion once this hostility has long gone,
Buried eternally inside of nightmares born to open our eyes to the beauty held within our dreams.
