Wrote a thousand lies
Touched by the mentality of an angel
How perfection shows me my faults
Wrote a thousand lies to free my mind
Interlaced with truth and pain
I wrote a thousand lies to guard my heart
Watched the tears run as I spoke

I made a wish
A thousand times past
I've made my wish
A thousand times gone
Yet a thousand breaths have past
Though I feel them all around me
I am so alone

Understand why I cry now
Why my heart beats silent now
We can stand forever and hold still
Like statues we battle the elements
Though as proven again and again
Time will always win

My thousand lies protects my thousand secrets.

"Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it."

"Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles."

-Confucius

I like the way you tie the thousand lies back in again at the end...in a very interesting form...nicely done
