An innocent lie.
All that I am known by.

My reflection
is the only one I trust
It's my new infection
Covering me in blood lust

My eyes
kind and innocent.
Everybodys' byes
meaningless in these eyes.
A beautiful cresent
of lies.

The shadow
it hides.
It will follow.
Planning my downfall,
through all my lies.

Will anybody hear?
Will anybody care?
I am not one to fear...
The loneliness I can no longer bear.

It dances
swaying my life away.
I have lost my chances
and will slowly decay.

The wounds are to much.
I was taken
of what such
a life, foresaken.

I look at my reflection
My innocent eyes.
Who am I kidding?
I'm just a lost cause
full of lies.

&quot;At this moment, there are 6 billion, 4 hundred, 71 million, 8 hundred, 18 thousand, 6 hundred, 71 people in the world. Some are running scared.. some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day.. others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good, and some are good.. struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world, 6 billion souls -- and sometimes.. all you need is 1.&quot;
