Mind in Thorns

You picked me up in his arms
And told me everything would be alright...
Funny because I’m not alright.
In the beginning, it’s always roses, it’s always good to remember,
But over time the thorns cut away what little we had left,
And now I am alone again, imprisoned in my own mind.
And you lie, while I lose myself in my mind
A hollow echo of promises that we no longer feel
You’re lying to my face, and I’m the one who pays the price
Trapped in this verse, under the glow of your ice
Yeah, you lie... and I survive in my mind.
The crowd applauds, but nobody sees the blood on the petals
The stage lights don’t illuminate our cracks
You're in the front row, watching the disaster you created
Smiling as if the lyrics weren't about what you stole
My voice is the only place where you can't touch me anymore.
Lie... lie... lie...
The words come out, but the weight stays right here
You are the author of the silence I learned to hear
A high note for every lie
A minor chord for my ire.
Because you lie, while I lose myself in my mind
A hollow echo of promises that we no longer feel
You’re lying to my face, and I’m the one who pays the price
Trapped in this verse, under the glow of your ice
Yeah, you lie... and I finally leave your mind.
Roses die...
But the thorns stay.
Lie...
Funny because... I’m finally alright.
