Spider Webs

It`s a funny thing, when two friends become more,
And suddenly, they`re different than they were before,
Spinning a web of intricately planned lies, they laugh,
As they carefully, with poise, rip your insanity in half.

The things they do, what they say, it`s all pre-planned,
And they know their lines like the back of their hand,
They`re dealing with vulnerability, a sure-fire win,
But the spider webs are encasing their pale skin.

Sneaking around into the dead of every still night,
They toy with loneliness, thinking it`s so right,
Seeking comfort within a lie they carefully spun,
No regrets, all they know to do now is run.

But when the ceramic lights burn out on their past,
Reality will blind them, shine through at long last,
The nights will be as lonely as they ever were,
They`ll drink away their pain, life will be a blur.

Breaking free of the spider webs holding them back,
They`ll soon find everything that they once lacked,
`Cuz there`s a big difference between love and lust,
But along the way, they lost rationality in the dust.

If this is confusing, it is about a teen couple thinking they`re in love that runs away and forgets about where they came from and who they were. Blinded by lust, they lose it all and end up lost looking for faith, they lost their rationality in the dust along with everything else and are left with nothing and no one because of the lies they spun to get away from it all in the first place.
