Was A Time

There was a time when I thought that I had a
friend
I put down the blade so the flames won't consume
me again
And then I awakened to see what they want all
along
Open my eyes, realize all deception was gone
Never was
Not again
When I'm on the street I can see all the faces are
dead
They try on their lies every day like a skin to be
shed
There was a time when you looked as fine as a lie
Open my eyes realize all deception was gone
Never was
Lies again
