Plant the seed
And
Watch the weeds 
Grow.

Start the fires
So no one
Would know.

Never
Let the memories
Unfold.

Keep the stories
Left untold.

Fabricate worlds
And beautiful words

Play the game
Try to win . . .

Set in stalemate
How many sins?

Have you gone through
Enough faces yet?

Have you
Paid off your debt?

Hide a wicked scowl
And start crying,

As the pieces
Fall

Into place
Just for a second.

I can see
Your smiling face

While on the inside
You scream
In pain.

In the mirror
Hides an evil danger

All your eyes see,
Is a friendly stranger.

Charismatic, lively, and bold
Self-righteous hypocrite

With treasures and bones
That are powdered and old.

Plant the seed
And
Watch the weeds
Grow.

If this world's
A Lie
How should
I know?

Beautiful you are
Words said before

Leave me coming 

Back for more.

Falling
Like a needle
Into sand.

So many of us
Too many
To count

We drown
In your hand

And bleed
Fountains

As we all fall down.

Spinning on a string
Round and round.
