lyrics
Whisper me the sweetest lie
Use these weaponized words
Incarcerating hearts in waiting
In longing for the next sentimental trap
Beauty is beautiful when it’s real
Crushingly defeatist when deceptive
Whisper me the sweetest lie love
Make it indistinguishable from truth
Dismiss honesty for the sake of the moment
Take broad strokes at grandiose visions
Build me up, make me a believer
Then gently lay me back down
Tuck me tightly into this hospital gown
And whisper me back into the void with the sweetest lie
Echoing, disconnecting, disappeared
Make me believe
One last time
One last deep breath
Lie to me
Eyes closing sealed
Lie to myself
Exhale slowly as I may
Fading failing facade
Pretending to believe
In bliss
