The Living Lies

These are the silent lies
The ones we live each day
Showing only in our eyes
In that oh so subtle way

People come and then they go -
They make no sound
Like an old-time picture show
The movie reel goes round

Hard to breathe or eat or sleep
Pretending not to care
We sow only what we reap
And nothing isn't fair

In these walls I am alone
In pain and in disguise
My heart hardened to a stone
Deep within these silent lies
