Hiding your actions
Cover them with lies
Alone with your thoughts
Blame the ones you love
Casting shame on the world

You encouraged me
To open up
Exposed my core
With risk of
My abandonment
But you planned this all along

False acceptance
Bleeding through your teeth
You told me
The world was in my hands
And you raised all my hopes up

You encouraged me
To open up
Exposed my core
With dreams of
Accomplishment
But you planned this all along

Cloaked in red
Evaporating pain
Controlling the forces of deceit
I believed

Duplicitous glass
Smoke and mirrors breathe
With all your invention
Contrive authority
From the will of devotion

You encouraged me
To open up
Exposed my core
And now I will
I’ll fight my way out
You will not be the end of me
