Drown the Truth

Treading on thin ice
Apparently means lets break it
With each and every vice
You are not who you say you are
Kiniving and manipulating everyone
While hiding behind what you call your bar
 
All it is is a big joke
You are nothing
No one to anyone but the local folk
 
Give yourself a hand and talk yourself up
Whatever makes it easier
To reach the end of the cup
 
When you do try and find
Who you really are inside
You’ll be far from my mind
 
Thank you for showing me
Through your insults and guilt
How hurtful love can really be

(2013)
