Pictures last longer but are filled with lies.

by SmileeItsBritt   Apr 21, 2006


A sporadic ring of memories
A heart it starts to bleed
A fragile soul in the hands of fate,
Her innocence deceived
You can see the tortured soul inside
It's ripe upon her face
Just like the perfect murder
Her tears dry without a trace
Wrap your mind around reality
and try to see past all the lies
Knock down the barrier you are blindfolded by
And open up your eyes
Scream the thoughts that can't be heard
Until your throat runs dry
and listen to the echo
Of all the things you let slip by
Cling to the false satisfaction
Of the beauty in a smile
Admire all of what you see
Trace these words with denial
There's no justice in all you see
A moment of razor sharp truth
Soak in all the memories
Drowning in this bloody youth
Pictures last longer
It's just a moment frozen in time
A captured point of perfection
Unfreeze it and discover the lie
