I find it hard
To comprehend
The deluge of thoughts
That fill my head
It seems to be
Quite natural
When you break me into pieces
I could feel enlightened
I could feel despair
You would promise anything
And know i wouldn't care
Oh what a beautiful lie
Painted through my eyes
To hold me together
How how you keep me alive
Even when i cry
From all this pressure
There were times
You were my enemy
Holding up the mirror
For all to see
Even when
I couldn't hear a sound
You held me back
And said "look around"
I could be demented
I could be insane
But if i tried to run away
You would still remain
Oh what a beautiful lie
Painted through my eyes
To hold me together
How how you keep me alive
Even when i cry
From all this pressure
I know you and you know me
Our lives have become
Like a river
Who really knows where it ends
Who will we be when we get there
I could be the devil
Immersed in your disguise
Or the saint who'll love you anyway
When you've lost your mind
Oh what a beautiful lie
Painted through my eyes
To hold me together
How how you keep me alive
Even when i cry
From all this pressure
