You hide your truth beneath your skin
From a world where love is vacant
The blind lust you have within
Is taking you for granted
Seeking refuge in deceptive eyes
Tends to keep you occupied
So your thoughts can remain stealth
And your heart up on the shelf another day
Their plaster hearts, all painted bright
Veil there empty lies tonight
To keep you full of envy
and feed your dying fire

Chorus:
The nights are cold but your eyes are ice
The tears controlled by a numbing plight
You're raining on your own parade
I wish you'd give up this starving charade
This wall of lies that you are building
And the reality that you're evading
Will catch up to you in the long run
You'll be another fair deception

Finding solitude in blazing smiles
The kind that burn all of your old ties
Keep you coming back for more
Your conscience you'll just have to ignore
Their plastic hearts, ornate and false
Wrapped so tightly, there's hardly a pulse
To keep you feeling eager
And feed your dying desire

Chorus

I miss you, though you're still mine
There's a life that you have yet to find
Your vow to me is now a debt
Trace your steps cause I'm not gone yet

Chorus
