Solace from lies

Cast away the moving light as I spin my tales
I hope to be on my own
Events keep unfolding and changing
A sting to my eyes

I don’t feel the need to see this supposed norm
What’s wrong with being alone
Can’t they just let me be

I am a calming sight
And the key to keeping all this by our hand
Unlocked in darkness, paving the way

So once more I say that I'll see you again
The truth won't please so can't be heard
I take solace within this new lie I've told
Safe again from one mistake

I’m living, I’m lying
A feigning smile upon my face
I look to my sea and I call out your name
My friends and my family
Do not be harmed by what I am
This shadow that watches and helps me again
Keep them out while sustained and entranced by my songs of false hope

I am your silent knight
And the one who offers escape from their plans
Use my words to keep them away

So once more I say that I'll see you again
The truth won't please so can't be heard
I take solace within this new lie I've told
Safe again from one mistake

Somebody tell me of things that I have waived
See me run from all that I have made
I'm awake and I am afraid
Teller of tall tales
I can’t believe how persistent they can be
I will lie until I am set free
All I need is this shade of me now
