Heartless and Disorientated

once

Once there was a little girl who lied almost every day,

And once there was a little boy living in a cage.

If only he knew it had a back dor.

The little girl used to say that she was happy in her skin,

Even though she didn't understand she still wanted it to end.

Because the only truth there was was that she was that little boy living in a cage,

Too bad she lied to herself every single day.

And somehow after every single lie he ever told that they believed was true,

He told the truth, thinking that he would be set free,

But then they looked him in the eyes and asked why she was lying through her teeth.

And so his world was turned inside-out as well as upside-down,

He couldn't stand up without falling back to the ground.

There was a small space where he felt safe, but it was still just a bigger cage,

So he went back to her old ways,

Since lyings the only thing that ever seemed to keep her safe,

And so the little boy became an old man, living in his cage.
