With every breath I breathe a lie
With every thought, deceit
I tell you I am doing well
When all I do is weep

My eyes see deep inside myself
Where only dust does dwell
You gave to me my very life
I give you back a shell

From day to day, I fake a smile
Within I brood and grieve
The faith I truly longed to have
Now vanished through a sieve

Tomorrow never seems to come
Unless it comes with pain
I will still groom the lie
For you I will remain
