Keep Lying, So I Can Keep Living.

by Not Bulletproof   Sep 19, 2005


Your lies captivate me,
And they give me something to live for.
Even if it's all just bullshit,
I'm gonna live for it.

Maybe I don't have any true significance,
But I can pretend I don't know that.
I'll live for you; I'll believe your lies,
At least I'll be living...

What's another stab to the heart?
Who cares? When does it matter?
This is life, this is what I live,
And trust me; I hate it just as much as you hate me.

I breathe the same f#cking oxygen as you,
Yet you don't feel the same way as I do.
Where's the difference?
And where's the truth I've given up on?

Your words sink in, they're skin deep,
And deeper; seeping in like blood.
I just want to sleep!
But your lies keep me awake.

Your passionate words and hands,
Keep me from reality.
They torture me,
In the sweetest of ways...

Your lies are what I live for,
Because other wise, I have nothing.
I set myself up for this bullet,
And I'll take it, head on.

Keep lying, and never tell me the truth,
I don't want to know what I mean to you.
Just keep it up...keep them up,
So I can keep living.

    I don't understand why someone would do this to themselves, pushing away the lies because you think that person is keeping you alive. Like they're the only one out there who says "I love you" even if they don't mean it. But they don't understand that there is -someone- out there who will say those words, and mean it too. But if you're hiding in those lies, you won't find them.

    "They torture me,
    In the sweetest of ways..."

    I love that line. I'm a sucker for oxymorons. Keep your head up babe, I hope you're alright. I love you, my pretty pistol.

    Your pretty fabulous drumset queen,
