The Lies We Tell Ourselves

Start the day off right with thinking that you're right
That everything is okay and that there is nothing we should fear
Negelecting the hidden parts
The puzzle pieces that make the whole man fit
Outlinning the dark shapes of our perseption
Realizing that at the end of the day nothing said is done
Only living in the fringe of our existence
There is so much we don't let see the light of day
Oh to see and behold the face of truth
Would we then turn and let the facts be exposed?
When the light that burns the false shines
How will we expect to escape this coming wrath?
Storing up sins that relinquish pain
Judgment knocks on the door of our hearts
Pushing and shoving it is the last thing left to enter
Yet we say as we stare at the mirror that it will past
Words will fade and the wounds with them
Ghosts of the past will no longer haunt
And the things we fought for will never turn to dust
Did you think when I said everything is meaningless,
That I was only speaking in metaphors?
Why is it that the walls come down and I can open up,
When I struggle to recollect the past which laid a crumbling foundation?
Just another lie
Just another part of me that I keep saying was a mistake
The mistake was me and that's what I've come to realize
Not on my own part but in the minds of the birthers
Straining to force life to come about from the void
I now see that it was in your own struggle to breath that you drowned me
These are facts and so easily we let them slip past
Like the aftermath of a one night stand
Sneaking out the back so that the victims of our lust will not wake
So what do we do, the bruised and broken?
The abandoned children left to the cold of the world
Do we seek revenge and burn up the earth?
Do will take hold of weapons and lay waste to our schools?
Do we paint our faces white and color our eyes black,
Donning leather and spikes pretending that hell rides on our backs?
Well the days of pretending are over as the final bell sounds
I speak as an ambassador of the devil
Spewing the hate that has filled my heart since the first night I was locked up
The day to blame is over and vengeance is the course for today
Havoc will be the sword and destruction the shield
When we pull ourselves out of the dreams and delusions,
Hoping on false gods that everything will be alright?
No more lies only the truth will remain
And this generation will see that it is only in that that we will take flight
Leaving all of the trash behind
Out of sight we cast new thoughts out of iron and spite
Bearing forevermore that which is always right
Stop living in the lies you tell yourself
