Nobody
Lines of truth Or furrows of deceit? I look into your face But what do I see? Eyes that wallow deep inside To a heart that brings you warmth ... The heart, that night you broke Ode felt words you whispered Tripping off a forked tongue Endorsing melodies to my name Splintered by a chorus of lies You looked at me - your saving grace The girl your life was for But I've tried and I cannot hold on When there's nothing left but dust That night, I saw right through you Past the beauty in your eyes Deep into a darkened place, You thought you could always hide I once thought your heart was beating But now I know it's made of glass And when I look into the reflection, To find what it is I see There is nothing but your shadow - Suspended - A false reality You've perfectly perfected The life of Dorian Gray But your soul has faded in me You're just an echo - A nobody
