Temptation Paroles

I've stretched the lines and pushed the marks
When did boundaries become a start

Muddling truth among the lies
Mirroring faces that I despise
Fear to fight for what I feel
Tending to wounds that never heal

If you take away the walls that I hide behind
Beneath the mask, the man behind the mind
A shattered soul fresh to pick apart
To vultures who seek an open heart

These tattered dreams become an art
Mending the pieces that fell apart
Gracefully fall into place
Onto a canvas that cannot be erased

These words always seem to find a way, they're nothing but lies
A crowded room full of broken thoughts and misleading signs Stealing the hearts of the innocent we meet
But who's to blame when they leave themselves defenseless
To a silver tongue stranger, speaking with subtle offenses

I can feel the sting of my remorse
As regret seeps into me
Why must I be so weak
Victim to the words I speak

Do I want these choices to define me
Or can I find a way back to myself

I can't remember a time when I still held my pride
It's been so long since I've felt the light behind my eyes
