Words come with a cost Has the truth become lost? Dangerous tales in a forest of phrases Burn it down; deceit embraces So Don't hold back, or remain inside this shell Feeling trapped, won't say what's felt inside Sentencing the perfect disguise Never saying what's felt inside Lies fall from the mouth Quicker than the mind let's out Is it so hard to tell the truth? With every word, it becomes skewed The fact becomes fiction A narrow path that's often tread The outcome that awaits is dead Wielding integrity A mirage of transparency Becomes reversed complacency Don't hold back, or remain inside this shell Feeling trapped, won't say what's felt inside Sentencing the perfect disguise Never saying what's felt inside Feeling trapped inside a shell Fear of pain escalates This impasse demonstrates Brings forth salvation Don't hold back, or remain inside this shell Feeling trapped, won't say what's felt inside Won't say what's felt inside Brings forth salvation
