Under a cloudless sky
Nerves cracking like ice
Mind spinning fantastic tales
of scary monsters
with pretty faces
thinking no one can decipher
the sordid little details

Everything you thought you were
transparent as glass
Show us all the warmth beneath your wings
or boil me in your pot of secrets
But put it all on the table now
The blood, the bones, the tears
I am not as far away as you think

What you lost is gone forever,
washed away with the tears
you never cried
New battlelines are drawn
Fake a smile now
Wipe away the stains
and nothing is forgiven
