Lies and Lullabies

Lies and Lullabies *Inspired by Just Desserts by MATD

I was in the dark                         

You were the blinding light

You filled my heart

I couldn’t resist yet I tried to fight

But you were a lullaby

And I fell and listened to every word until I was blind

You WERE the answer

That I had always been trying to find

I gave you a little too much

Perhaps it was a little too much to touch

It was bitter, yet sweet

I spent my days and nights chasing a dream    

I was chasing nothing but lies

Though I could not, would not break free

They glittered like gold

They were so promising with glee

I was chasing nothing but stars

A dream, nothing was what it seemed

I was chasing the stars

And sugar coated lies

I was chasing the stars

And “soothing” lullabies.
