Heist Of My Purity

As if I wasn't tortured enough by the lies
My innocence seems to be your biggest heist
Now you question why I can see it in your eyes
The deception you tried so hard to make suffice
such an antagonist is this urge to ponder
To let this idle mind never cease to wonder
The bank of thoughts charges such a fee to launder
I find myself trying to free this heart with a lock and key

With every time you wake (you wake)
With every smile you fake (you fake)
You seem to create (you create)
Everything I hate

To think I thought I could free myself
with chains so very binding
To recapture the feeling of being distraught
by light so very blinding
You took the purest white of gold
and turned it black and cold
withheld the truth of old
And made sure it was never told

With every time you wake (you wake)
With every smile you fake (you fake)
You seem to create (you create)
Everything I hate

Every attempt to fly with godspeed
upon the winged feet of mercury
Has been known to impede
my ability to escape this misery
Taking the hand of liberty
only to find her fingers corrode
Her justice does me no good
If I'm the reason her roots erode

With every time you wake (you wake)
With every smile you fake (you fake)
You seem to create (you create)
Everything I hate

you never served as an admirable memory
you merely added insult to injury
now in this dry soil you leave me
submerged in resent six feet deep
