Solace From Lies

Cast away the moving light as I spin my tales

I hope to be on my own

Events keep unfolding and changing

A sting to my eyes

I don’t feel the need to see this supposed norm

What’s wrong with being alone

Can’t they just let me be

I am a calming sight

And the key to keeping all this by our hand

Unlocked in darkness, paving the way

So once more I say that I'll see you again

The truth won't please so can't be heard

I take solace within this new lie I've told

Safe again from one mistake

I’m living, I’m lying

A feigning smile upon my face

I look to my sea and I call out your name

My friends and my family

Do not be harmed by what I am

This shadow that watches and helps me again

Keep them out while sustained and entranced by my songs of false hope

I am your silent knight

And the one who offers escape from their plans

Use my words to keep them away

So once more I say that I'll see you again

The truth won't please so can't be heard

I take solace within this new lie I've told

Safe again from one mistake

Somebody tell me of things that I have waived

See me run from all that I have made

I'm awake and I am afraid

Teller of tall tales

I can’t believe how persistent they can be

I will lie until I am set free

All I need is this shade of me now
