Warped reflections in a mass of people,

A crowd perceived as you please,

Searching for hidden depth,

Among these faces you'll find,

Hearts chained by lock and key

 

Aching souls of emptiness,

Treasures buried deep inside,

A push towards the opposite,

Truth forced to hide

 

Reality rips their innocence,

A heavy burden to bear,

The pretense to a spiral down,

Fading fast, no longer here

 

A world of intricate deception,

A game of masquerade,

The building of walls,

Slow and stable,

A lasting facade
