I know that there is no turning back
the words have no meaning
and I will have to deal with the punishment
for our lies and the words that have failed
there are some things that we
can never tell the truth about
it is better to lie about fear than
to experience it
what would you do then
to stick a needle in my eye
the collapse of the concrete
and mystery of what could happen
I’m afraid that there is no way to ever let go
darkness masquerading as the light
absence fills the lack of space
there are worse things than
a needle in our eyes
the pinpoint of a moment
that we could never return from
there are worse things than a
broken promise
when lies are all that we have
