Lies in the End

The Walking Sheep

By Bryn WitterPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I see the days I left behind

Forgive myself and leave me blind

I take the cuffs from off my wrist

To give me time to fix this shit

The problem is within, I feel it sinking in

I reach inside my tired soul

From tattered lies I fill this hole

My life to be rearranged

I feel the solution slipping away

As time begins to ache

My mind begins to wake

Leaving the palace that reads “escape”

My dreams set up the warning tape

In lies refine my time to think

I find a way to breath in deep

Freedom is a warning sign

To find a way to buy some time

Freedom keeps me awake

To barricade my broken mind

It’s all just lies in the end

To gain an end in fraudulence

I break these chains to see again

I break these chains to make amends

In the end, they will reveal

True identities will unveil

I’m tired of these broken chains

I place the chains unto my brain

In the end, it’s mine to give away

My hopes, my dreams, I die inside

To help the ones who know my lies

I feel again, I love again, in the end, I fall again

To break these chains, I need a hand

To fix these chains, I need a friend

I tire of these walking sheep

In lies I will begin to sleep

To find a place to rest my head

I will begin to make my bed

To finalize the figment byes

With lies, my heart to keep

I close my eyes and start to sleep

Goodbye cruel world, my mind repeats

All in all, my mind to sleep

It’s all just lies in the end

I love to write, about just anything to be honest. I’m also a singer-songwriter, so it helps to be able to write all of my thoughts down and express them through song.
