To vocalize
What is not real
What you don't feel
Is contamination
Of one's heart

To say lies
Simply hatred
For vengeance
Why do it

Don't you feel dark
Don't you feel pressure

To be discovered
For your face to blush

For no more calls
Or messages
Laughter
Friendship
Even sanity

Do you feel on thin ice
To want the ground to swallow you
Because you already feel like your falling

Don't you want to scream
For forgiveness
Or release

To lie
You don't win
Nothing

To cascade
And have no one to catch you

Will you do it
