Lips peel away revealing condescending smiles,
Flashing back every inch of all these traveled miles.
I remember how it feels to be where I belong,
and then a smile begins to curve because I couldn't be more wrong.

Belonging is a word you whisper when you deceive;
When nails are slowly tearing the exposed heart on your sleeve.
And no amount of rhyming stanzas could ever come close,
To how it feels when you swallow that final fatal dose;

because it never really happened because you're made of lies,
because that's the way they made you, because you closed your eyes,
because it was too much for you to ever get inside,
because you weren't strong enough, because all you know are lies.

And on the tongue of this liar, it's laced with irony,
but on the tongue of your liar, it's just a melody.
and you try to make it work, so desperately
it's just too bad that you can't harmonize like me

Lips peel away revealing a skeleton of truth,
Giving you the memories that you lost in your youth.
and I still remember how it feels where I belong,
and I hold back my tears, because I am still dead wrong.
(fortunately, I won't have to deal with this for long)
