Tell me a lie

All the promise
The contradiction
An endless conflict for a consolation prize
Formulated
By Focus group results
Treading water while the world around you keeps on falling apart

Traitor
Lie to me
Again

Conversations
And correspondence
Just interactions that they only thought were real
Self-important
Self-entitled
Just endless distracted, only wishing to believe in yourself

Traitor
Lie to me
Again

Up in your head all day
Nothing you've done is real
Only accomplished in your own mind
You've heard the name
Liar
All the times they looked you in the eyes
They told you all those lies
You let them get away with it

Nothing
Movies
Without belief
No truth
When everything
Stops
