Lies as to where I am going
Hiding from anyone knowing
Who I really am and how deep I sink
And how close I sit on the brink
Of disaster, disclosure and despair

The drugs make me think no one will see
What is running and ruining me
That my lies and excuses are believed naively
By loved ones who care for me desperately
The pain and the sadness I can easily fault
On something other than my own caused guilt.

I have learned to manipulate and control
Everyone outside of my own sad soul
But I know deep inside where I reside
There is no way I can forever sneak and hide
And once I am exposed and my ruse is over
I pray that drugs will no longer be my lover
