Facade

You think I'm oblivious.
You can lie all you want.

But I know the truth
And I also know you.

You put on a mask
To avoid your reflection

Hoping your new appearance
Can lead you towards a new direction.

You let life pass you by
While avoiding your past
Forgetting to sometimes stop
And have a little laugh.

For it was you
Who told me it was okay
To have a little a fun
Even on what seems like the worst of days.

So my advice to you
Is to take off your mask
And let down your long hair
Because there are people who love you even when you are scared.

With your strength
And your courage
You can do anything you want,
So make life your Bitch
And keep on moving on.

But for now
You'll think I'm oblivious
And you'll continue to lie
But still I know the truth
And I know what you hide.

If every scar tells a story,

Then I can write a book.

Broken Relations

They say blood is thicker than water
But you see me as a stranger

You want me to disappear
Yet I can't imagine life without you

We're wool that come from the same sheep
And you say you'll be okay if I'm gone

I love you more than you will ever know
However your heart is a furnace filled with hate

I'm your brother
You're my sister

I'll love you tomorrow
And you'll still hate me
