author's note
this poem is written in the form of a song
L I️ E S
(verse one)
saying you care as you walk away
telling me you need me but you won't ever stay
choking the words out to have something to say
and never caring when you lead me astray
breaking the mirror so you don't see yourself
destroying the clocks when your time runs out
take another drag, exhale through your mouth
if you can't think, you won't know why it's so loud
(pre-chorus)
burning down bridges just to give you some light
lying to yourself to have another fight
nothing but buzzed noise stays through the night
underestimating me just to cringe from my bite
(chorus)
not today
but keep going this way
and you'll capsize
from all of your lies
(verse two)
denying the truth while it burns in your mind
rewriting the script when you run out of time
you think you can play me but i turn on the dime
and you fall for it when i say that "we're fine"
(pre-chorus)
but now i'm burning your bridges just to give you some light
laughing to myself while you have another fight
i leave and nothing but buzzed noise stays through the night
and watch you underestimate me just to cringe from my bite
(chorus)
not today
but keep going this way
and you'll capsize
from all of your lies
(bridge)
going down
going down
lost, never to be found
crying out
screaming out
all is lost you're alone now
going down
going down
lost you'll never be found
cry it out
scream it out
all is lost
but now you're going down
(chorus)
not today
but keep going this way
and you'll capsize
from all of your lies
