Liar

calculated steps, a calculated smile
a calculated image, perfect all the while
hiding something tragic
hiding something cruel
hiding whats inside you
your hearts a shallow pool
your friends are faceless people
your family just a tool
you lust for fame and glory
but the mirror is still cruel
Looking to the mirror
you do not see yourself
you do not see the monster
you see fame and wealth
Looking in the mirror you look past yourself
you look at the creation
no need for love or health
someday you'll look into the mirror
look at you instead of past
and not see fame and glory
and only see gods wrath.
