Rational Lies

"Bad dreams again?" Here it is again: the voice that scares my thoughts away Demands attention for itself, itself alone Seems so unthreatening but promises a bitter sting Soon my heart and mind become the battle zone Push aside all reason, a sailor to the siren's call Escape reality for temporary lies Sometimes I can't believe the things I'll try to justify Only more lies again Get out of my head, leave me alone You're no longer welcome here A voice so sweet with words that kill A wicked whisper in my ear In my time of weakness is when I see your strength displayed Screaming silently tickling my ear Lie! I know who you really are And I see your hatred masked behind your smile Get out of my head, leave me alone You're no longer welcome here A voice so sweet with words that kill A wicked whisper in my ear "You can't see the eyes of the demon until he come callin'." O wretched man so failure prone Who will deliver me! I once was lost but now am found Was blind but now I see I once was lost but now am found Was blind but can I see? "Bad dreams again?"
