Close Your Eyes, Live Your Lies



close your eyes
live your lies
fall into a world
where dreams are born
reality itself torn
fantasies are explored
on the shores
of paradise

the angels serenade you
with words of wisdom
and grant you the power of
limitless freedom

close your eyes
live your lies
fall into a world
where fear lurks
on every corner
of your sub-conscience
screaming non-sense into your skull
until you want to toss your hand and fold

the demons pulverize you
into oblivion
and lock you in a cell
for all eternity
