Lies

You try to look straight though me
Steal the secrets from behind my eyes
Think your helping me to be happy
But all I do is feed you more lies

Try to unchain all of my madness
As I sit still, bolted into my chair
With your whispers in my ears
Pretending that you actually care

Do what you’re told, ask what they want
You do your job so you get paid
Smile and laugh, try to be friendly
Why can’t you see? I am so afraid

Just the two of us, no one else
Alone in a room, facing my fears
Worried you will see inside me
But nothing useful reaches my ears

Only questions, simple questions
How did the last few weeks go?
You don’t ask anything important
And if you don’t, you will never know

But honestly I don’t need your help
And I’m sure that it’s no surprise
That nothing’s wrong, I am okay
As I continue to feed you lies…
