A Lie For You To Keep

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

So much more I'd be relieved
 if all my thoughts spoke freely
And through the distance you can't know
 if I do live or if I'm leaving

  no matter what I don't reveal
  some words don't quite comply
  and so they whisper to their own
  just what I deny

 Yesterday, it was a trance
 that makes this way of skipping hours
 look like less than all before
 
 Do you know me
 When you see me
 Or are you too
 Encaged within your fears
 
   Oh, the joy the future brings
   Some really are so bold
   To prove their life is not at stake
   Unaware of what it means

And if you haven't noticed yet
And if you care to know
I'm blind enough to tell a stranger
How much I am afraid
