In the Face of Denial

In the Face of Denial

If you want my sanity
You better say it now
Say how I loved you
And I was loved back
Come, shine a light here
Get me out of the black

Tell me the things you treasure most
How when I was ever away
The earth would quake and combust
And your world ran in frenzy
As it kicked up the dust

Speak of the void I filled in your life
How before you knew me
Emptiness often hung
And the moment you met me
That emptiness sung

Baby, please don't hurt me
Lie if you must
Your words shoot like bullets
With a magnified sting
And only the lies shield the madness
As these bullet shots ring

The offering of myself didn't make you stay
It wasn't enough I suppose
If you hear me once let it be now
As I ask for all the lies you can give
Please deny me the truth
It is in the lie that I will live

Wow Bebe, that was really strong and hits right in the heart.

Even with the subject matter I still feel as though the protagonist was kicking arse.
If you get me?
Strong, powerful stuff.

Thanks a lot you guys

I don't know why we must do this to ourselves wanderer -- I guess sometimes the truth hurts so badly that we just want to hide it with a lie.. not good because the hurt is bound to reoccur eventually

And zoomanda, I think I got ya
